Misogyny

Can you spot an ‘extreme misogynist’?

Can you tell the difference between an extreme misogynist and a moderate misogynist? Hating women has always seemed, to me anyway, a rather extreme position on its own. The label ‘extreme misogynist’ is surely repetitive. A moderate misogynist is an oxymoron.

But then the Home Office announced this week that ‘extreme misogyny’ could be added to the list of ideologies the government monitors to tackle terrorism. I’ve been racking my brain, trying to figure out how the police would tell the extremists from the moderates. Does the extreme misogynist hold women in contempt all week long, while the moderate reserves his disdain for weekends? Does a mild misogynist simply begrudge us having the right to vote, rather than campaign to take it away?

Piety and Profanity: The Raunchy Christians Are Here

The “Conservative Dad’s Real Women of America” 2024 pinup calendar features old-school images of sexiness — bikinis, a red sports car, a bubble bath.

The models are influencers and aspiring politicians familiar to the very online pro-Trump right. In one image, a BlazeTV host in a short skirt lights a copy of The New York Times on fire with a cigar. Another model, the former N.R.A. spokeswoman Dana Loesch, hoists two rifles.

Published by a “woke-free beer” company hastily launched last year as an alternative to Bud Light, the calendar was clearly meant to provoke liberals. But when photos of it began circulating online in December, progressives did not pay much attention. Instead, it sparked a heated squabble on the right over whether “conservative dads” who happen to be Christians should reject the calendar on moral grounds, or embrace it as an irreverent win for the good guys.

I’m thinking the New York Times is upset all Liberal-Left women are not Dylan Mulvaney.

USA Today and gender studies experts confirm: Women don’t exist

Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s inability, or unwillingness, to provide a definition for the word “woman” makes for a rather silly controversy, but it highlights an important fact: Women don’t actually exist.

Such is the point of Alia Dastagir’s piece in USA Today. According to Dastagir, there “is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman.” Dastagir would know, after all: She spoke to “scientists, gender law scholars, and philosophers of biology” who determined that Jackson’s nonanswer was “commendable.”
