What is the root cause of misogyny?

59 posts in this topic

My theory is Basically if there is a distinction (be it gender.. skin color.. religion.. country of origin etc) there will always be an "us" and a "them". We always favor us at the expense of them. Of course it is equal and opposite discrimination..but if there is a power differential.. the bias will be one way. Men were historically more physically powerful than women and were usually the leadership so misogyny was bound to happen

And BTW ...it doesn't matter if black slaves hated white slave owners..there was no power structure thousands of years ago to make the mutual bias equal thus why racism and sexism are one from a practical standpoint.

But still  ..Every religion..and every society in all times have demonstrated hatred of women .but women are one half of the humanity. 

In your opinion..what's the root cause of misogyny?

I'd venture to say cultural programming.

Ofcourse. The truth whether you like it or not is that men and women have differences that still to this day are uncontroversially considered to make each superior to the other in some things (and inferior to the other in some things). Hence why people have issues with transgender women competing in women's sports..for example. But women are being suppressed in places like the middle East and third world countries. It's still happening fucking  TODAY lol

The root cause of misogyny is ignorance.

Haha Women can be sexist as well but it is not the same as misogyny(As in racism) .

I think it boils down to women do not hold the power to do harm or deny equality. Women are also indoctrinated into thinking of themselves as inferior.. impure..unworthy and every other negative forms of oppression by the culture..religion..and society.

What is not clear is the deep hatred that turns to violence toward women who are not aware of their rights as equal human beings and they are not inferior to men.
This hatred is like ignorance..which has no cause.. it just exists.

This sounds more like an Eastern problem and not in the more developed parts of the world. Everything has a cause. Truth is the only thing that just is. Separation exists because we are defining something relative to something else.

May I see the stats on that please. Plus I just did a quick check on the most developed country in the world and its not the U.S.A. Please do your research before you make such bold claims.

USA is not the most developed country and we also have to take into consideration the amount of people who are in that country.

That unfortunate experience could have been the best thing that could have happened to you but you couldn't see it because of how you interpreted it and that could still be because of ignorance. lack of clarity and inability to seeing the bigger picture and using that experience for growth.

I’d say the US is one of the least developed western countries.
