Misogyny. I mock it.
I find a lot of it in what's called the "manosphere," a loose collection of Men's Rights, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and Pickup Artist (PUA) sites. That said, there are numerous posts here that don't have anything to do with MRAs, or PUAs or any of their ilk.

Sad day, I was considering buying a shirt until I saw where the profits went.
Too bad the bulk of feminists support that organization, and that people who don’t must hate women or some bullshit like that. Every act of mass evil is predicated on the idea that X group of people (the Jews, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Muslims, whoever) is subhuman and therefore not as valuable as the rest of us and do not have rights. And I’m aware PP does more than provide abortions, but they also willfully kill millions of people every year, and therefore should not be supported by anyone who calls for equal rights.
I’m not about to get into a pro-choice vs. pro-life debate, where I will inevitably hear the Singer-esque sentience argument where fetuses and embryos are likened to bacteria. Or where my pro-life principles are reduced to nothing but detached religious dogma. You couldn’t pay me to get on that merry-go-round again.
This is more of a lamentation that so many have bought into the utter bullshit that abortion is a legitimate part of women’s rights. As a woman, and a feminist, this deeply saddens me. Doubtless, there are misogynists on the pro-life side that give us an ugly reputation, but these are few and even the most ignorant among them do not think murdering women is a viable option to solve such “problems,” and that makes them more tolerable.
I really like your site. I think misogyny has a hegemonic effect on our present culture and needs to be fought, but I’d ask you to reconsider where you are sending your money, and why you have bought into pro-choice rhetoric that undermines our fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
peace
I quote Katha Pollitt:
“…It is indeed feminist to say no woman should have to abort a wanted child to stay in school or have a career…Exposing the constraints on women’s choices, however, is only one side of feminism. The other is acknowledging women as moral agents, trusting women to decide what is best for themselves. For FFL there’s only one right decision: Have that baby. And since women’s moral judgment cannot be trusted, abortion must be outlawed, whatever the consequences for women’s lives and health-for rape victims and 12-year-olds and 50-year-olds, women carrying Tay-Sachs fetuses and women at risk of heart attack or stroke, women who have all the children they can handle and women who don’t want children at all…”
As for me: the woman who is housing the fetus outranks that fetus once and always. She comes first and I have no authority whatsoever to tell her that she is worth less than that fetus-and neither do you.
Spend some time on the Guttmacher site and try to find that supposedly tenuous link between abortion and women’s value. Abortion saves lives.

“I’m not about to get into a pro-choice vs. pro-life debate, where I will inevitably hear the Singer-esque sentience argument where fetuses and embryos are likened to bacteria.”
I don’t want to get into it so let me strawman-and-run! Seriously, at least present your views if you’re going to hit-and-run this, the FAQ, or the glossary.
*sigh* Not that the hit-and-run troll will see this or anything.
People who call women who chose to have abortions murderers: please go fuck yourself and stop calling yourself a feminist. A fetus’s right to liberty does not trump the one of the uterus’ owner. The pregnant person’s free choice is the only feminist option.
wow Kyrie! you are telling a women to go fuck herself?? How can you call yourself a feminist? And Kristen is right,even when we are a women we can´t have diiferent opinions conserning abortion without being misunderstood and fiercely attacked! Isn´t that misogyny?And honestly girls,would you like to be aborted? Your mothers have chosen to give you birth,imagine if they have chosen not to do so? Personally i would love a world where all pro-choice feminits were aborted!
I can´t see how this hatred against fetus can be women´s right.Will it stop rape? Will it make men responsable foe the pregnacy they did?Why the fetus should be killed and the men who cause pregnancy is left alone? Sometimes i belive pro-choice feminists have no brain.
In addition,stop suppousing that all feminist around the world support these american insanities.I am tired of that.Keep this crazy hatred to yourselves.
Go back and read that Katha Pollitt quote again. I think abortion is a moral grey area, but happily it is a decision that I myself will never have to face, thanks to the IUD that I got from Planned Parenthood.
And for that, I’m endlessly grateful to them.
Hey Lourdes,
Why are you so on fire to protect a fetus even if it means the resulting child will be abused?
Also, this.
PFKAE: Holyshit, that GMP article was the worst, I can’t believe they ran that glurge. That site makes my flesh crawl.
GMP? Is that a different term for the Guardian?
Good Men Project. It’s a blog that…actually I’m not at all sure what they’re trying to accomplish.
I have no idea either. Although that was supposed to be a link to an article about a woman stating simply that her mother should have had an abortion instead of a baby and why. I found it to be a pretty powerful piece that shows the other side of the discussion-not the “my mom was raped, poor, desperate, etc but she overcame all that and had me and it was the most wonderful thing ever!” Which frequently leaves out the rest of the story: “and my childhood was one of deprivation, torment, child abuse, violence, and all the rest of the negatives that occur when the mother of the child is not ready for having a baby.”
I once read a background of Randall Terry that had me scratching my head-his father was incredibly abusive, his parents hated each other and his childhood was terrible. In addition, one of his aunts nearly died from a botched abortion. Yet there he is-one of the most vicious and hateful anti-choice activists who advocates for the execution of doctors.
