Add Misandry category to AutoMod
Twitch has launched new Auto-Mod settings, and included Misogyny, while failing to include a category for Misandry.
Misandry is defined as; dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men (i.e. the male ***).
This description is perfect for the failures of Twitch in recognising the hourly verbal abuse and violence that men experience on their platform.
It is worse that this violence against men is completely ignored by Twitch, and Twitch allows it to happen.
I believe Twitch's behaviour is illegal, as they are discriminating against all men based on their gender.
What will Twitch do to remedy this issue?

Moderating for misandry is inherent in the need to moderate misogyny. How How can you not include the entire gender of males in the same cause to protect people, and years on still not implement a complete approach to gender-based protection? Does Twitch management think anyone with a Y chromosome can't be abused?
Protect boys and men from abuse on Twitch. It's been over 2 years already.

Misogyny is something what AutoMod can block, but not misandry for some reason.

Please add an option to filter out misandry. Boys and men in general get hated on as well, not just girls and women. )Not here to rant about gender inequality btw so please don't get mad at me)

Me gustaría que hubiera un filtro en el auto mod para la misandria ya que este es un problema que se ha desarrollado durante los últimos años y sin embargo no esta allí. (Este comentario no es con el propósito de ofender, solo que busco ayudar aquellos afectados por este problema)

I noticed that in the auto mod there is a section to filter misogynistic comments but not misandrist comments and i would really like to see that added because i know many of my friends have gotten bullied because it will not filter hate towards men.

I noticed this a couple of minutes ago and was about to voice this as well, glad I am not the only one that caught this but sad that is actually a thing that was missed. I don't understand how this is something that a big company like Twitch could miss. If equality is something that Twitch is striving for then surely they have failed here.
