038 Misogyny

On today's show, I confront facts and misinformation surrounding the word misogyny. While this word was once used only to denigrate the worst of opinions held against women - it is now a catch all term that includes an attack on behaviors that just a few decades back were considered highly polite- such as opening a door for a woman. I am no stranger to the horrific "manosphere" logic that degrades single mothers, sexual liberation, access to birth control and many other modern scernarios - but I think if we take a deeper look we will find most people are just seeking to cope with desperate situations. Empathy is the way we can curb misogyny and not further shaming men for vaguely distateful behavior. Have you seen real misogyny in your life as a woman? Has a woman ever mislabeled you as a misogynist? Chat with me on IG @dailydoseofbpod or @brittaniejay on Facebook
