71. I think a lot of men don't see misogynism where it IS...
Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 01:53 AM by Triana
...because it doesn't happen to THEM - THEY don't see it, so they don't believe it exists.

AND UNLESS you've lived your life as a woman, you are not qualified to say whether most men are or are not misogynists. How would YOU know?

As a woman, I can tell you MANY of them are. SOME are not.

That's not to say they are intentional or vicious in being so, many men are and - because of cultural conditioning - unaware of it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't EXIST.
