I don't think you know what misogynist means.

I know what misogynist means; it accurately describes Chris Brown and any other man who abuses his female partner.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/misogynist
mi·sog·y·ny [mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-] Show IPA
?noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.
noun
a misanthrope who dislikes women in particular
mi·sog·y·nist (mi-soj'?-nist)
n. One who hates women.
adj. Of or characterized by a hatred of women.


You don't have to hate women in general to beat one of them. They're two different concepts.

LOL @ the dictionary definition. Misogyny refers to more than "hatred of women." How do you define or measure "hatred" anyway? In feminist theory and common parlance, misogyny refers to negative beliefs or actions towards women, because they are women. Misogyny, as it is used, refers to the dehumanization of women that is a product of the hatred of women. Relationship violence is an example of dehumanization; most abusers are not violent towards those who they consider equals (men of similar status), only women, children and men beneath them.


Mysogeny is the hatred or mistrust of women in general. Period. What that evolves into later can be many things including but not limited to physical violence. This doesn't mean Mysogeny is anything more than hatred or mistrust of women.

LOL @ people who think they know better than the fucking dictionary.

I did not limit misogyny to relationship violence, I said it was an example of it. And it is. Misogyny is used more broadly in feminist discourse and common speech than the dictionary reflects or you accept. Some words have multiple definitions. Some of those definitions are not in the dictionary. This isn't news.

If you make up the definitions then sure but it has one meaning. He beat his gf but that doesn't mean he doesn't love women. I'm pretty sure he loves women and quoting a feminist definition of Misogyny is like using the KKK definition of hate crimes, too biased to be used.

:roll: Because feminists, people who believe that women deserve equal rights are the equivalent of the KKK.

i think he just objects the the simplistic frame thats been pushed by some feminists.
perhaps some men are prone to violence regardless. doesn't mean they hate all women in general, they are just dicks.

What is the simplistic frame that is pushed by some feminists?

It can't be more simplistic than "some men are prone to violence."

The only thing simple about feminism is the gross misconceptions about it in mainstream media.

Actually, feminists and chauvenists are about on the same level. One prefers men, one prefers women. Neither prefer equal rights. His point was valid. You are wrong.

NICE. I've always thought she was smoking, especially her eyes. Isn't she the one Jay-Z supposedly cheated on Beyonce with?
