Misogyny is not violence. Violence may be motivated by violence, but in itself it is not violence. She follow the disturbing trend to call words and speech "violence"
> “It is without doubt that social media has allowed this to happen,” she says of the toxic moment we’re in. “It has created the opportunity for men with anti-feminist ideas to broadcast their views to more people than ever before – and to spread conspiracy theories, lies and misinformation
Even if you believe what shes trying to explain, why is it unique for men? Radical feminists do the same thing, just reversed. Anyone with any hateful opinion can speak on the internet.
- SippinLean 8y agoWhere in her book or in the article did she "call words and speech 'violence'"?
- funkythings 8y agoHave you read the title? > [...] elevated misogyny to new levels of violence
- anticensor 8y ago> Violence may be motivated by violence, but in itself it is not violence. What does this mean? I tried to parse and only got a contradictory expression.
- funkythings 8y agooh, typo! Violence may be motivated by misogyny, yada yada
- WalterGR 8y agoRadical feminists do the same thing, just reversed. I see this claim made by a lot of people, but never with any evidence. Could you cite that radical feminism is misogyny reversed?
- funkythings 8y agothe opposite of misogyny is misandry http://misandry.tripod.com/id6.html http://misandry.tripod.com/id6.html A more serious take: https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/30/the-spawn-feminisms-misandry-problem/ https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/30/the-spawn-feminisms-... Of course, esepcially the first link is definitely biased. But you find it all over if you look for it. #killallmen, #maletears etc on Twitter. You get the point.
