I don't believe that gay men experience dating in the same way that straight men do. Women seem to be much more selective than men. If I were gay, I think I would be much more successful in dating. So it's possible that I would not be conditioned into bitterness.
But to address your point directly, if I were gay and men treated me worse than women treated me, I think misandry would be understandable.

Yes, the same reasoning applies to straight women. 
However, I would argue that a woman's situation would not be identical to a man's situation. A misandristic woman still benefits from the high volume of options that other women do. Even if guys lied to her and led her on, she could just move on to someone else easily. In contrast, when a man is deceived, he may have to wait weeks before being able to find another woman. The misandristic woman is better off.

Sadness does go both ways. But certain situations are sadder than others. A billionaire whose Bentley is wrecked should be given less sympathy than an indigent single mother whose only means of transportation is wrecked. 

There's a difference between vilifying someone who could break your heart verses a demographic which has repeatedly broken your heart in the past. The former is untenable since all relationships require a degree of trust. The latter is understandable, since, when things happen over and over, it's fair to expect them to continue.

I'll try to find the movie. I'll watch it.
