Not sure that it has necessarily reached misogyny though (that for me suggests a condition beyond the subjects control, more complex than just being an asrehole).
Yeah I do understand you but I think that we are down to semantics rather than the issue, which is that women beyond doubt have a good shout that they face a harder route in life largely due to wins of patriarchal societies.
Misogyny or not hardly matters as a definition, lack of equal status does...... though I feel perhaps another circular argument may ensue, so I'll say, no I don't believe that equality in reality is achievable, in so many respects, but in people's minds and how they treat others, it makes a good start.
I believe the thread title should be treated with no more respect than any other.
