Misogyny is typically although not invariably a response to a woman‘s to gendered law and order. I think of misogyny as one of those shock collars worn by dogs. Misogyny is capable of causing pain, and it often does, but even when it isn‘t actively hurting anyone, it tends to discourage girls and women from venturing out of bounds. If we stray, or err, we know what we are in for.⬇️ #shesaid
Singout In contrast to misogyny, I take sexism to be the theoretical and ideological branch of patriarchy: the beliefs, ideas, and assumptions that serve to rationalize and naturalize patriarchal norms and expectations, including a gendered division of labour, and men‘s dominance over women in traditionally male areas of power area and authority.⬇️ 2h
Singout The two typically work in concert, but we need to understand that someone can engage in misogynistic behaviour without necessarily having sexist beliefs about women. 2h
