I use the term misogyny softly because I always understood it to mean a hatred of women--a kind of all purpose despising, manifesting in additives like regulating women to various body parts. I think it's possible to be sexist with out being an outright misogynist, which is why the men on the left get their felling hurt, when we call it our-- the men on the right, as you say, simply don't give a shit. Do Not Care.

Sexism can be insidious, but so often it's just in your face blatant.
