Final answer:

The statement is indicative of misandry, which is a form of prejudice specifically against men. Misandry is the correct term here, rather than general gender bias or satire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "Men are sex machines... they only want one thing." suggests a stereotype about men and their behaviors or desires. This perspective involves a negative generalization and is indicative of misandry, which is defined as the hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against men, which is akin to misogyny, but directed towards men instead. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D. Misandry.

Satire would imply a use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize, which does not seem to be the intent of the statement. Gender bias refers more broadly to unfair differences in treatment or expectations based on one's gender, and while the statement reflects a bias, misandry is the more specific term for bias against men.
