The only time I ever hear about that 1% is from the conservative propaganda machine, or MSM rebuttal. They hold zero power outside of the conservative cinematic universe.
At this point I consider it nothing more than manufactured outrage.
Well there's your problem right there
I would not define misogyny as a minority opinion. I also do not think youre talking about the same thing. Misogynists don't just say they hate women. Misogynists want traditional wives. They want to get away with sexual assault and domestic violence. They want women to be subservient, submissive, and have less access to society than men do. Misogynists believe women are weak (physically, emotionally, and mentally), they control women's sexuality by policing it through the use of language like "prude" or "wh*re". Misogynists don't want women to have equality of pay, they don't believe women should have equal representation in the government and many of them don't believe that women should vote. Misogynists believe that they are owed sex from women. They believe that women who deny them are evil. Misogyny is not a dislike of women, it's a hatred for the autonomy of women. A hatred for feminism and the progress it's achieved.
Their enemies are shadows on the wall, shadows of their own minds.
i do read that stuff, well, i don't consider it as such but it's been told to me to be as such. i still don't know why as i never got a chance to ask for an explanation
I mean there's TERFs, they speak for feminism, no?
People keep forgetting that until recently, TERF used to be the default position of feminism
When recently? Because if you mean 30 years ago, yeah. But by the 00s it wasn’t anymore. And before the 80s it wasn’t yet. It was a powerful force in the second wave.
