When exploitation & inequality become extreme, people look for someone to blame. Getting members of oppressed populations to blame others who are similarly exploited is a time honored tactic. Blame people of colour. Immigrants. Queers. People of different religions.

The all time favourite tho, is blame women.

Misogyny is fomented through social & mainstream media. This is how boys learn what it is to be a man.

Whose interests are served here?

@26pglt '...since 2021'? Hoo boy, have I got news for them!
In 1985, I was working as a volunteer at an NGO, that had a DV Shelter. At that time they were bringing attention to a campaign to Break The Cycle of violence, which carried on through generations. Sons emulating their fathers; learning contempt for women as they grew up.
A-holes like Tony Abbott, were reinforcing contempt for women, not fostering it - because it has always been there.
It is not, and has never been a new concept. Nor is it a province of one particular religion. That is a very specious argument. Women deserve better.

I believe that women make up a majority of the population (by a small but not insignificant number). If all women (supported by those males that are not #misogynists - all too few by my reckoning) were to assert their rights in full, we would have a much safer, fairer, more productive and happier society IMO. Hell, if a majority of that majority were to kick up a stink and vote accordingly, that woud do it too.

Not saying patriarchy is the result of too may women submitting to it. Not at all. Just saying banging misogynists’ heads together doesn’t seem to change their behaviour/beliefs much at all. Don’t expect a #Patriarchy to wake up to it’s #insanity, it will take a strong and united campaign to restle power from their hands - a task that the #feminist movement has so far failed to do.
