Is This Misogynistic?

So one day, on a forum, someone started a thread about things the opposite gender does that the replier doesn't understand (depending on the replier's gender). I'm all in touch with my feminine side, and am SO pro-gay-marriage, and women's rights... but...

I ANSWERED: Why do women dress sexy, but then get pissed off when I stare at them?

I asked the question with all the best intentions, but....

HOOOOLEEE ****! I may as well have thrown that account away. Despite my positive contributions to other threads, I was karma'd down to super troll in seconds.

Okay, women, is the question THAT misogynistic if it's asked out of pure curiosity? Also, please refrain from making a comparison to this with the retard "She dressed sexy because she wanted to be raped" argument. It's TOTALLY not the same thing. Looking != Raping.

    No its not misogynistic at all. I notice it too. Most of the time they want certain guys to look at them but they don't realize that you can't control who looks at you.

    That's because feminists are crazy.

    They call anything 'rape'. If a guy says crude things they call it "ear rape". If a guy looks at you suggestively they call it "raping with his eyes". These morons don't know what real rape is. Real rape is a horrid crime that does not even compare. But you get stupid organizations like "hollaback girl" that try to make it a crime to do anything. Just because a guy makes a cat call does not mean he wants to intimidate you or make you feel powerless - he could just be acknowledging your beauty and/or acting obnoxious. An obnoxious fool is not the same thing as sexual predator, but it's no point in arguing with such a dense group of people like feminists.

    These days, you have to look at who is talking, and only then, when the source of info is "approved, you should evaluate what is being said.

    It isn't misogynistic in any conceivable way, because it doesn't in any way imply hatred of women, which is the definition of misogyny. Far too often people use "misogyny" and "misogynistic" as power words hoping to make a strong impression using such a strong work, all in an attempt to silence you and/or belittle you and/or shame you into compliance. What they're usually achieving is laughter and ridicule.

    Definitely not, you were only asking a question. Only sluts dress like that, and they aren't sexy. why would you want to look at one of those filthy things anyway?
