Misogyny? Well, DUH!

80. The devil is in the details y'know...

I mean we can all sing kumbaya when the time comes, but the new dawn of respect and true equality is only a glimmer on the horizon. I do think it will come eventually. But it has to be hammered out. You don't turn Patriarchical Society around in a single generation.

I think a lot of women DO support men who go against the grain of gender norms. But a lot of men either don't support women who want to change things, or they do but they hide it because they fear negativity from both men and women. Which is why I say that women who do take a stand against patriarchy need to be more clearly supported by men
who also want that to change. I'm aware that for men to do this can cause a lot of cognitive dissonance and there are different issues that need to be addressed by both genders. But yes, we do need to be mutually supportive.

Teach the children. And part of that is teaching them about sexual objectification and the subtle ways it is used for marketing everything--which of course perpetuates the status quo. So I think this is a relevant topic. I don't think we disagree in a big way, except for perhaps the view of the time frame we are working with. (Perhaps I see it as more glacial).

Thx for reply.
