This is going to be yet another archetypal Hacker News semantics comment, but as tone-deaf and out-of-touch as Pax Dickinson may be, I have to agree with him on the use of the word "misogyny." Misogyny is what ultimately results from casual sexism: By laughing off things like Titstare, we reinforce a culture of simplifying, infantilizing, and objectifying women. This is then fertile ground for the repugnant last step, contempt for women, which is misogyny.
