Our culture is deeply misogynistic

The family life at home is what shapes our children.

It is. My own 15 year old son seems to hate women and girls. It's terrible and his dad adds to the problem.

My father told me men earn their value while women are born with it. Life isn’t fair. Men have a much shorter lifetime, pay more for car insurance, and less then half ever get the chance to have kids. The top 10 percent of men have over 90 percent of the dating sex. It is women that are shallow and users of men.

You not noticing this until after you lost your looks is, in and of itself, misogyny, OP.

By the time they are teens, their peers have more influence. By the time they are heading off for college, the whole world has more influence. Having a great family and loving parents doesn't outdo the effect of social media and the world around them.

You really need to reflect upon your father's views and how they have affected you.

Today a BBC reporter on the radio was describing the Princess of Jordan, who is in mortal danger from her Shiek ex=husband, who has already kidnapped and imprisoned his daughter. He has made death threats against the princess.

The reporter said, "Well she did not help her case by having an affair...which made him understandably angry."

SERIOUSLY?? He has five other wives. And somehow, he has a right to threaten her life and freedom because she sought a more healthy relationship?????

I thought that was incredibly biased and unprofessional.

I have always seen it as we have lived in so many different countries.

However, it is becoming more crystal clear as ai get older.

On the contrary, I feel like boys/men have it worse. I tell my grandsons whatever you do, keep your hands to yourself. No means no and when they are older, I’ll tell them to make sure they think with their head on their shoulders and not between their legs.

Grandma, do you understand that your message -and that you think it’s worse for boys- underscores the issue? Yes, your grandsons should keep their hands to themselves. Lord. Talk about expecting the minimal from boys.

Never forget how many women are part of the problem.
