[quote=Anonymous]I have realized recently that misogyny isn’t really just a general hatred of women or a synonym for sexism, but a specific tool used against women who have risen above their perceived role in society that is pointed at them to knock them back in their “deserved” place. Women who are quietly at home cleaning the kitchen and raising their children without complaint don’t have too much to fear from it; it’s mostly when we gain power someone else thinks a man should have or otherwise step out of our perceived roles that the hate descends. Sexism is an ideology that justifies the patriarchy. Misogyny is effectively the punishing arm of the patriarchy. See Kate Manne’s “Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny.” Fwiw, in case that helps anyone else. [/quote]
