To think 1 reason we're still in a misogynistic world is the WAGS?

Just read a thread about some wife ruing fathers day...even though she pulled out all the stops, turned round after work and cooked a roast and made cute little napkin holders etc.... I bet she doesn't get the same done for her on Mother's Day?

Anyway....surely it's WAGS like this, who put their partners on stupidly high pedestals, tiptoeing round them, treating them like God's gift whilst they put themselves last that still ingrains misogyny into the back bone of Britain?

You are holding women primarily responsible for misogyny?
Don’t you think that’s a tad misogynistic of you?

How does cooking your partner a roast on Father’s Day engrain misogyny into the culture? Am I missing something?

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel did you not read it properly I said 1 reason... not the number 1 reason...

I think let’s not blame women for the behaviour of men shall we? Let’s have that as a rule.

Well said.

Agree with other pp who have beat me to it. Very depressing to see women blaming women for men's misogyny.

Yeah, it’s women’s fault 😭 FFS, OP 😭

Either way you are blaming men’s behaviour on women.

and very grating to see women referred to as WAGS.

TAAT and a very mean one at that.

The reason for misogyny is misogynists. Not wives and girlfriends putting their partners on a pedestal.

I ‘pull out all the stops’ for my husband and put him on a pedestal and he’s never treated me badly. He rates me as highly as I rate him. He treats me just as well as I treat him. That’s because he’s a good man and not a misogynist.

Nothing I do or don’t do could either make him be misogynistic, or stop him from being misogynistic. It’s dependant on who he is.
