It’s not that “I’m used to it. It’s that it seriously doesn’t bother me, at all



That’s literally the definition of internalized misogyny



Being a women there are some things I can’t do as well as a man. And that doesn’t bother me in the least, nor does it bother me if men privately joke around with their friends regarding it.


I never said you should be ashamed that you have internalized misogyny. I’m just saying that you have it.



I view men as women as different. As a woman I don’t compare myself to men, and don’t mind if they have abilities that women don’t have and vice versa.
If you want to feel intellectually superior by saying I have internalized misogyny then so be it.

If you make a stupid, misogynistic joke when you’re 23, single and childless, it’s still a bad look, but Jesus, it’s like he still has no awareness at all at age 47, after a marriage, multiple serious relationships with women, and 15 years of being the father of a daughter. What a prick.



Ok, but I’m a woman in my late 40’s with two daughters and don’t mind the joke and wouldn’t care if my husband made the joke either.
That’s the point of this thread.

It means he gets a big ole pass for all of his deplorable behaviors involving women, simply because he's a stand-out golfer.

This was a pretty bad joke. I don’t think too much of it beyond that though. Both parties laughed, he was called out on it and apologized. What more is left to be done? I just wonder if Tampax will sponsor him now.

Me neither and I am not going to Google it. I really don’t care.


Same. I'm not really in the habit of finding things to be " outraged "about


Circle of stupid.

He could ask any female to get one from bathroom for a joke. It's not difficult.

The point is, this wasn’t some spontaneous jest. He planned ahead to insult his buddy by calling him a bleeding vagina. I can’t imagine any man, much less
anyone so visibly in the public eye, doing this.

She also says she couldn't stay with Tiger and wanted to show her children that it's better to be apart than be with someone you don't trust. So, she is best friends with someone she doesn't trust. That seems weird to me.


I bet her partner and father of her two youngest children was thrilled to hear that.

Woman here. When I worked in a predominantly male organization, someone wrapped a box of kotex as a gag gift for a white elephant gift exchange. We'll, I was the one who happened to pick that gift. I was under the age of 35. There was only one other woman in the group. It wasn't really funny. LoL. Someone also wrapped bubble bath and other toiletries as a gag gift. Again. Not funny.

I think it's offensive for you to compare this
