Framing the discussion of misogyny toward women as a matter of whether or not a woman can successfully compete in a "man's world" misses the point entirely. Instead of a substantive discussion, it's easier to dismiss women as just a bunch of whiners who can't get their shit together so they should just shut up about it. Dehumanize Vietnamese as "gooks" then kill them. Call a man the "N" word then burn a cross on his lawn. Spit on a Jew wearing a yellow arm-band. Say she's a bitch who wants it, then rape her. Misogyny is hate and violence toward women born of language meant to diminish, objectify and keep women subservient. If you miss the point of misogyny, it's just that much easier to blacken a woman's eye. By the way, Hillary did not fail miserably. http://tinyurl.com/2822d4
