(110,159 posts)that has been allowed to ripple out and feed on itself to such a point that it is touching all of society. we see it thru out. it is not small, minimal, or any particular group. it is like i have never seen in my lifetime. though women have taken huge steps in freedom, independents and the ability to take care of ourselves, there is a concerted effort to reign that in. it is being done in a number of ways. it is all about disrespect. once disrespect is well and truly implanted in us as a culture, all kinds of ugly is manifested toward women from different sectors.
and it is about control and dominance.
dehumanize women. thru media, music, internet, porn (internet and porn separate issues of dehumanizing) we have been able to dehumanize our females. it is part of our culture and everywhere we look. it is being taught to our boys. it is being taught to our girls. if we lack respect for a gender, it allows the rw to dehumanize us further with our body.
this is basic human interaction. action/reaction. it hurts all of us. both genders. not gender specific. our men are the problem. our women are the problem. we both create this and we are both taught as girls and boys.
yes, there is a war on females. i say females cause it is on both our girls and our women. it all feeds off each other.
and yes, it is on du.
i see the youngest of our generation seeing the older "kids", twenty something, lol, having walked into this boiling vat of experiment in such a mess and rejecting it. maybe we have to reach the very bottom first. see our young women die from laws implemented. see so many of the strong foundations that allow us to see the whole instead of individual to be destroyed. maybe our youngest of generations will say, enough as they are raised in a mess.

If you're sick of seeing feminists discussing misogyny on DU, then quit acting in a misogynous way.
