> “every man hates women” (literally in the second paragraph!)
(from parent)
In case anybody wondered, the article says nothing of the sorts:
> Kate defines misogyny as the enforcement branch of the patriarchy. While sexism is a set of beliefs, misogyny is a set of actions. As such, it is much more damaging to women. Worse, misogyny enforces a patriarchical worldview that the majority of the world holds as the morally correct one. Thus, when women break this norm (i.e., by demanding authority, recognition, space and not providing goods that men feel entitled to like domestic, emotional and mental labor), they are in the wrong. The men are seen as the victims, while the women enduring the misogyny are the bad actors. This viewpoint leads to justification of a number of vile behaviors perpetuated by men – even those men that claim to support and love women.
(second paragraph from TFA)
Get you quantifiers straight, Tom.
- tomp 2y agoRead it again. > behaviors perpetuated by men – even those men Blaming all men, twice! If you’re still confused, compare: > violence perpetuated by blacks - even those blacks > terrorism perpetuated by Muslims - even those Muslims > world controlled by Jews - even those Jews Society is blind to sexism against men, but quite sensitive to bigotry against blacks and Jews, so it’s easier to see if you replace a few words…

- card_zero 2y agoWell domestic, emotional and mental labor aren't goods, they're services. And I didn't know what emotional labor was supposed to mean, so I read the linked blog post, and it seems to be saying that women who are angry because men won't listen to them have no duty to listen to men who are angry because women were angry at them; also that the author is in principle prepared to have a reasonable and constructive discussion about this under theoretical circumstances. So, I don't know, that's probably true, but the whole business is rotten from start to finish and I'm going to the park now to feed peanuts to squirrels and crows, until some angry human tells me I shouldn't.
- sneak 2y agoEmotional labor, per the feminist that originally coined the term, is actual paid work (“labor” in the traditional sense) that involves presenting or maintaining certain emotions: think a customer service rep, or a waitress. It has been repurposed by the radfem movement to mean something else. That something else is not super well defined but it has something to do with the coddling that unstable men presumably require to not retaliate against women.
- Jensson 2y agoIt says "even those men that claim to support and love women", so its not just "men", it really looks like she means all men.
- Saturnial22 2y agoJust to be clear what happened here, he made the point that if such sweeping negative stereotypes of other groups were thrown about it would be shocking and unacceptable, and your rebuttal(?) is that his examples are shocking and unacceptable and so you won't respond..? QED, I guess.
