Misogyny and Sexism are two different things. While sexism is the hatred of women, misogyny is a branch out that describes the ideology that women can’t do some things or are different in any way than a man is. For example, when a man (or woman) says that women should submit to men in a relationship, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that women aren’t as smart as a man, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that women do not deserve the right to vote, that is sexism. However, human anatomy is not misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that men are naturally stronger than women, that is human anatomy and should not be classified as misogyny or sexism, because the male body is bigger and bulkier. When a man (or woman) says that a woman is more emotional than a man because of her period, that is misogynistic. When a man (or woman) says that the only thing women can do is take care of children and a house, that is both misogynistic and sexist. These are just a couple of examples, and there are many more ways to be misogynistic or sexist. If you have a sexist or misogynistic mindset, I recommend working it out, because they are both wrong. Women and men should have the same rights, but they don’t.
