"Please define what makes somebody "right wing" I think the political spectrum is so broad and definitions have shifted so much over the years that trying to forcibly pigeon hole people into LEFT or RIGHT is oversimplified and counter productive." That’s not really true, Over the last 40 years the major political parties in western geopolitics c have become increasingly centrified…there is no left an right anymore. The major issues have become with polarised media, and the idea of RiGht and LeFt has become divisive across a small number of problems which are magnified under the spotlight of social media such polarisation and a lack of willingness to accept individual viewpoints that the bridges have now been burned. The 1990’s was a far more open and free thinking society, misogyny was almost unheard of, Transhphobia wasn’t even a thing. | |||

". Dunno what 90s you lived through, but as someone who was female they felt pretty misogynistic. Things are getting better, thankfully." My post was more regarding the specifics to the increasingly Toxic masculinity which is now common place across social media, I agree that the glass ceiling was still in there in the workplace and out moded values were in place which have now been superseded but that, in itself this is not what can be classed a Misogynistic behaviour which by definition is a hatred of women. This is something that has grown increasingly and has given birth to “Incel” culture and the increasing popularity of sexual violence in pornography and in social media…I accept your anecdotal evidence but research and media metrics do somewhat go against what you’re saying. | |||

With respect, you are incorrect. Misogyny is having contempt for, a dislike of, or prejudice against women because they are women. Sexism is one of the ways that misogyny can manifest. Toxic masculinity is not misogyny. | |||

I know a grown man supposedly educated, who tried to argue that women should not be allowed to work in offices and should be kept at home. For those questioning the existence of toxic masculinity, this is an example. We have a long way to go. | |||

I think there is a fair point here. Culture and the Internet has done a great job dividing us into partisan camps. Making the picture either simply black and white or so complicated it just seems too much of an effort to understand. We are so stuck to our flags it seems little hope of trying to find a sensible social outcome and genrally consenting shared value system (I don't say compromise because I believe there is right and wrong and thus compromise isn't always ok). There's a real sense today for the hunt of outrage without regards for the wider picture or context to affirm the conviction of our side. To shun logic and reason for partisan sensationalism. Sometimes we start on a rational path and then throw the baby out with the bath water. It's sad to see. Also the extremities of each side give the other side the smoking gun to say ha, there it is, this is the true nature and madness of other side. When most people are a lot more moderate. However said same people often seem these days to have to defend the extremities of their faction (even if them don't agree). We really are living in a time of much knowledge yet ironically an increasing void of reason. However returning to the question, I agree on personal experience. Especially in terms of normalised overt misogyny talk. However it's something ingrained to some extent in society. There are many cases of recognised members of the left who practise misogynistic acts despite their words saying otherwise. I'm inclined to judge people more critically on their acts than the misjudgement of the bravado. We are all from different life experiences and backgrounds and they shape the words we talk. People say a lot of stuff but how that act and treat people face to face is far more telling than the rubbish they regurgitate. I know good people who are misinformed and talk shit IMO but I also see the love and humanity in the way they treat people (even the people they'll causally and ignorantly say by default are the problem). We need to stop dragging ourselves into cages of our faction and creation of Internet algorithms. If we looked bigger, wider and listened to each other more then maybe we could create a more rational world and remove the power from the extremes. At the moment there is to much talking not enough listening. Mr | |||

"Came here for a definition misogyny. Found it mansplained to a woman. Wasn't disappointed. Mansplained? Take your everyday sexism else where." The word “mansplained” comes from an essay called Men Explain Things To Me by Rebecca Solnit. It’s available for free on the tomdispatches website. It’s worth a read if you want to understand more about the concept and where it comes from. And how it’s not sexist when someone calls a man out for doing it. | |||

Many people just use it as a label and as a term of abuse as they are simply nasty and too lazy to learn about others. Someone disagreeing with someone else has to be labelled as something rather than simply a disagreement amongst people with free will. I see quite a lot in these threads, people calling out misogyny as one example and it's. It even close to misogyny but someone drops the label and then the usual just pile in for a kick.
