My bet is, that because it’s a really harsh word … ok, put the pitchfork down please … What I mean is, that it literally means “hatred of women”. And like wow, unfortunately I know some assholes who disrespect women but to hate? Uff, that’s something. So my guess is media avoiding it because the response would be “Well I don’t hate women! Where did you get that? I sue you!”
Side note: I remember watching on youtube an american lady living in Czechia and she said that Americans are alway exagurating their emotions. Like you’re not hungry, you’re STARVING! You are not tired you’re EXHAUSTED! So is this the same situation? You’re not disrespecting you’re HATING?
It’s kind of like how some people think they “can’t be racist” because they never say the N word in mixed company and they have that one black acquaintance, even as they perpetuate racist systems. Similarly, “you can’t call me misogynistic, I love women! As long as they stay in the kitchen amirite boys? Haha just kidding. Now where’s my dinner?”
Yes, in this situation a “racist” is the right word i.e. a person with prejudice and stereotyping based on a race. So we need exactly word like that, just for the gender/sex. And I was thinking, “misogynist” doesn’t fit the definition, but do we have some word like that? And then I said to myself, well yes we do - “sexist” - am I right? “Sexist” is the word that describes this right? I mean I’m just brainstorming ideas here, feel free to correct me
