I saw this today and it bugged the hell out of me, so I commented on the misogyny. Most of the replies said 'can't you take a joke?'
WIBU to comment, or should I have scrolled on?

Another day, another poster on MN who doesn’t understand the word misogyny.

Its sexism. Not good, not better, but if you’re going to scold people you might as well use the right words

What nonsense.

someone else who doesn’t understand what the word means

such a shame

Look it up. Then tell us what’s so startlingly different between being sexist towards women and displaying misogyny. Hint: not much.

What is the matter with you?

Just come out and say it if you enjoy a bit of misogyny; don’t dress it up as pedantry over word choice.

misogyny = dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

sexism = prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

Pretty clear overlap wouldn’t you say?

It’d be like someone accusing you of being a dick, and you saying, “Err, no - I’m actually being a jackass.”

The only reason for your ‘contribution’ to the thread is to derail.

Nope

Also who said anything about enjoying misogyny

I dislike it as much as the next gal, but I at least know what it is, what it looks like and most importantly what it means.

You and the OP don’t seem to be able to do that.

Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to be clicking on any of your links. But thanks all the same.

Looks like you’ve already been deleted on this thread for your misogyny - whoops!

Take care. Maybe you’ll get a girlfriend soon?

nope, not deleted for misogyny (maybe read the deletion message)

unless stating a basic truth that misogyny and sexism are different is an issue now

grow up, if you want to remain ignorant that’s fine, but don’t think you’re not looking foolish

Says ‘not in the spirit of the site’ so it could easily be misogyny 🤷‍♀️

Maybe ask yourself why you’re so keen to derail a thread that points out hateful attitudes to women? The answer certainly won’t be one that makes you look good.

Your whole tone has been petulant and pathetic. I certainly won’t be engaging with you any further. I hope you find the answer to your issues.

I thought it was funny😁. Similar to the "Divorce Barbie' joke.

Yup.

Also, frankly it's not "ordinary" woman joke... That's the point. It's not just sverve clear of women..sverve clear of certain type. Which is usually quite bitched about in women circles anyway😂 pretty, very sexy, smart

AnuSTart · 04/11/2022 09:07

For sure it's a bit offensive but plenty of men feel that way. Racism is offensive but racists get to be racists.

FWIW, there are plenty of women on here who depend on men for their money. I know quite a few myself. I earn more than my partner and learnt the hard way not to depend on a partner for support, but it's still not the norm.
