What has been your experience with misogyny?

Asked by Pingu (692points) January 10th, 2013

Directly or indirectly, have you ever had to deal with misogyny? When and where did you encounter it? What was your reaction at the time? Have you ever been a participant? I’d like to hear some of your experiences and then I’ll weigh in with my own.

On the flip side of this question, what do you or do you not consider misogyny? For example, many people don’t see cat-calling or workplace sexual harassment as a form of misogyny. If you don’t think these examples count, can you tell me why?

Merriam-Webster defines misogyny as a hatred of women.
