59. Yes. :) Examining actions can be very enlightening.

There is a peculiar misogyny among SOME of those who identify Prog, certainly far from all of them.

But that label includes some really strange-bedfellows: combinations of genuine social left-winger Progs with the populists Sanders also drew to that label. Many of the latter we now know are a special mixture of socially conservative (!) and economically liberal. White supremacists, mostly male, who both oppose change and want progressive government social programs and opportunities -- for those like them, not others. And there's a whole bunch of misogyny in that group.

I very strongly suspect many who identify Prog haven't examined themselves or others in their bloc enough to understand the various goals and motivations.

Certainly, anyone who who could call Jill Stein the only progressive woman in the race was profoundly dishonest and hostile to Hillary and Democrats in general. And where'd that come from? Many observers have noted populist strains in West's pronouncements, not least his very active hostilities, including his problems with antisemitism. I'm guessing Stein's real draw for West was probably twofold: that she was a weapon to deploy against Democrats and that she posed absolutely no threat to male supremacy.
