Do you believe misogyny exists and people should be protected from misogyny?

Misandry is not the solution to misogyny

absolutely.

further I believe that the extent to which women are overly judgemental and very forthcoming in those judgements towards other women is an issue that has long been unaddressed. from little girls on the playground to grown-a..women through their attitudes, words and actions making others feel less than, shamed and questioning of their own capabilities. excusing it away as an acceptable form of socialization and 'just how friend groups work' (when did 'friend group' replace the word 'clique'). as an example-I was thrilled when moms working outside the home were no longer as frequently negatively judged and shamed by other women but then it became popular to do the same to the sahm's and so it goes back and forth. body shaming, sexuality, marital status (or lack of), career/non career, having children/choosing to be child free...I've seen/experienced far too many women INTENTIONALLY prejudicial towards one another and that is something that must end.

I take exception to the bolded. If a woman has chosen a husband whose expectations of her and the relationship are oppressive, that's on her. We don't have quite the same ability to choose our bosses/corporate cultures, although I suppose on some level, quitting is always an option. Not that it should have to come to that and I truly don't believe there are many reputable companies in 2025 that haven't cleaned up their acts a lot since the 80's.

Come off as a bit tilted towards the, "blame the victim" mentality because the same argument could easily follow for an abusive husband. Was this your intended slant?

{{sigh}} No it wasn't. Get over yourself. If you've never been emotionally taunted or physically attacked by a husband, maybe you don't see the difference between that and having one lay on the couch watching baseball while the wife cleans out the fridge. I doubt you are calling men who live in couples where the domestic duties aren't shared equally (for whatever reason) abusive. Or that you consider their wives, who are presumably adults with free agency, to all be victims.
