I mean, it pretty clearly implies "feeling like a man" is only a bad thing. That "feeling like a man" can only be done in ways that make others feel inferior. That seems pretty misandrous. to me. Enough to call misandry right away? No. But between that and the name, they're starting to set a theme.

I got the impression that it's fine for a man to "feel like a man" but that that needs to be something he finds on his own terms, and needs to come from within. It's not something he gets to impose upon others, such that it demands their cooperation or subordination. If to anyone, masculinity requires them being superior to others... maybe they need to do some soul searching.

Perhaps the user's name does contribute to a theme. I don't see anything specifically wrong with what was mentioned in this post, but we would need more context to determine who's in the wrong, Reddit AITA style.
