I'm asking you to close down the pornography outlets wherever you can and to stop the distribution wherever you can, in whatever way you can.

I am asking you to stop passing: stop having feminism be part of a secret life. I am asking you not to apologize to anyone for standing up for women.

I am asking you to organize political support for women who kill men who have been hurting them. They have been isolated and alone.

This is a political issue. They're being punished, because at some moment in their lives, they resisted a domination that they were expected to accept. They stand there in jail for us, for every one of us who got away without having to pull the trigger, for every one of us who lived to tell about getting away without having the trigger pulled on us.

I am asking you to stop men who beat women. Get them jailed or get them killed, but stop them. Men who rape make a choice to rape. And men who beat women make a choice to beat women. And we women now have choices that we have to make to fight back.

I am asking you to look at every single political possibility for fighting back-instead of saying, "I asked him, I told him, but he just wouldn't stop." We need to find ways to do it together. But we need to do it.”

Thank you for those sweet words guys.

Misogyny is better defined as systemic discrimination and unfavorable, thoughts, beliefs and actions towards the female sex. These actions are often covert and often mean treating women with some level of disdain or carelessness.

The reason this matters is that when misogyny is simply defined as "hating women" it makes it harder to attack and makes it easier for misogynists to defend.

Misogynists are not brainless, many justify their misogyny in various ways to disconnect themselves with the belief.

As a student who studied sociology i compare it to the ideas of racism, for the most part (im aware this is not accurate for all) racist cops justify there racism by pointing to crime statistics this in turn causes them to be overly suspicious of ethnic minorities. One big example would be stop and searches the racist copes would be more likely to search black men for example because they assume they are more likely to be criminals, as a result more black men are found to be carrying drugs because they are overrepresented by police searches.

This is true for misogyny, misogynist dont necessarily go around saying "I want to hurt and kill all women because I hate them muahhahha"

Because they use various means to justify there hate.

This is the same reason Christians and other religious groups dont like when you call them homophobic and instead say shit like "i dont hate gay people i am against their lifestyle choices and think they are going to hell"

But no, apparently, it's a "gross" and "TERFy" painting and anyone reblogging it was "sus". It's exhausting having to go out into the physical world and have to hide that I'm female with female issues because that will lead to me not being taken seriously and then I come online and I'm supposed to never say I'm female with female issues because it's oppressing people living on the other side of the globe who have a LOT more power and privilege than my third-world ass does.

I miss the internet from 10 years ago. Things were (at least on the surface) a lot better then.
