    Apparently that’s the misogynistic one, based on a whole series of posts on the front page at the moment and the hundreds of gross comments that have followed.

      I don’t get what’s up with people nowadays throwing up the adjective “misogynistic” everywhere, when 80% of the time they’re really not seeing something misogynistic, but rather some ideologically conservative crap.

            misogyny, as defined by webster, is “hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women.” we use the term to make it clear that this contempt and prejudice is against women specifically.

            conservative ideology seeks to actively harm women who dare be anything more than servants to men. to have contempt for a group of people unless they’re effectively enslaved is to have contempt for that group in general.

      you’re getting downvoted but you’re fucking correct.

      this place is becoming just like reddit in that people dig up any sort of injustices they can find (or fabricate) toward men and then incorrectly blame it on feminists and women without so much as a citation. hateful misconceptions then spread like wildfire because these guys just take anything that re-affirms their biases at face value without any critical thought.
