      Good piece by @CathyYoung63 Yes, it's not that the bullying is nastier when its from far-left loons but that it is harder to brush off because it has public respectability & threatens people's careers and reputations.https://forward.com/opinion/390296/its-time-to-call-out-bullying-by-social-justice-warriors/ …

      I find it easy to shrug off the far-right loons telling me I'm fat & ugly & will die childless surrounded by cats but far-left loons saying I oppose women's rights, racial equality, LGBT equality etc are harder to ignore because those things are very important to me.

      They know this, of course. They don't bother telling actual sexists, racists, homophobes they are those things because they already know this and think its the right way to be. The accusations have power only if the accused abhors such attitudes & that's what makes it so toxic.

      The other problem is that the words then lose power. If I hear someone described as a misogynist now, I'm much more likely to assume he once disagreed with a feminist idea than that he hates women. This matters because we still need to be able to talk about misogyny.

          When we finish work I always stay behind and wait for my female colleague who has the keys to finish setting the alarm and locking the doors to make sure she is ok and no one tries to force entry etc. No longer sure if that makes me a gentlemen or misogynist?

          I'd suggest neither! But a thoughtful co-worker!

          Not directly relevant but I’ve always been confused by the term misogyny. I suppose I think of it referring not to traditional patriarchal men at all but rather to men who are deeply resentful of women owing to generalization from past perceived slights, romantic rejections etc

          And the roots of misogyny, such as it is,seem so obviously an attempt to deflect attention from a man’s flaws and romantic failures , so it seems to stem from a place of weakness (?) which would seem the opposite of the patriarchal orientation (?)

          Absolutely. Tho they could also be deeply resentful of women not sticking to traditional roles.
