Misogyny in Wazua

I just have to say something about this especially after the thread on Lupita. There's too much of it in this forum and unfortunately no one is speaking up about it. From objectification to downright contemptuous attitudes towards women. It's high time those perpetrating these attitudes put a stop to it.

mi·sog·y·ny /məˈsäjənē/
noun dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. "she felt she was struggling against thinly disguised misogyny"
[quote=Dame Shirley] You can tell an ambitious woman from the shape of her head. It's flat on top from being patted down patronisingly.[/quote]

It's just a matter of degree. Forums like wazua have fewer women so it is rarely discussed and sometimes it rears it's ugly head and goes unquestioned. Misogyny is discussed more in forums with more women, but it does not mean it is practiced to lesser degree in such forums. Infant women who attempt to question it sometimes get harassed quite a bit online. At other times women just keep quiet because it's too tiring to deal with misogyny.

The author of this thread is a demagogue Who does he/she think we are to insult us? Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

ironically you have a problem with misogyny in wazua but okay with the tribal hatred being perpetuated. saying that because i have seen you contributing in such threads - and not to call it out.

You want to use that Lupita thread as your example? It's now misogynistic to question an accuser who has holes in their story? I'm guessing the right thing to do would be to believe her word without question? If there's one thing I am getting tired of nowadays, it's hyper progressive people who jump on any trending issue and dogmatically take the extreme left position. Have some sense of discernment to question things and rely on evidence instead of being dogmatic and unwavering.

Shak has raised a very important issue. The "downright contemptuous attitudes towards women" is one of the things making Wazua a rather unpleasant place to hold level-headed conversations.

Examples abound but it would be time consuming to give all the numerous examples on this forum where we are objectified. Those discussions about 'fish' and 'airports' really drive me up the wall
