Are you surprised by the misogyny?
...at Yahoo Answers?
I am.
In my world, it is taken for granted that women are fully human and not to blame them for the ills that befall men.
Apparently this is not close to being a universal belief!
Is this because we are on the interweb, where anonymous trolls reign, or because the culture of western Canada is so very different, or....? Thoughts?

"Are you surprised by the misogyny at Yahoo answers?"
Not really...because generally I don't see much in the way of misogyny on Yahoo Answers.
I see a lot of trolls...and I see some general contempt for both feminists AND men's rights activists...but classic misogyny...I just don't see it here by and large...
...and when I do, often there is a trail that leads me to believe that the person being accused of misogyny...was prodded into an angry reaction, often times by a feminist who likes to lecture men about "checking their privilege" while denying their own!
"In my world, it is taken for granted that women are fully human and not to blame them for the ills that befall men."
Aside from trolls who ask the same stupid questions and enunciate the same dumb answers all the time, which users are you claiming don't accept women as "fully human?" Which users are you claiming blame WOMEN (which contrary to popular sentiment by some users on here...is NOT synonymous with "feminist") for all the ills that befall men?

There is a difference between misogyny and truth. Everyone is conditioned through political correctness that women have such delicate sensibilities and oh how poor this oppressed woman is. They did not get to see her parading through Craigslist searching for outta town sex while her husband is gone, the drug crazed Xanax binge or dependence on some other mind altering drugs... And oh.. The prettier she is the more she is excused from her destructive behavior.. Most of them know this so in turn take advantage of it and keep the destructive cycle going. Yes, there are people that make jokes here, which are easy to recognize. But that's just it, it's a joke. Women want equality so that is what they are getting. They are not immune to ridicule or being told they are f*cking up any more than a man is.

The truth is that I don't see much misogyny here. I see some feminists getting upset that people debate them and won't blindly agree with their principles. That is a human right to disagree with another persons thoughts not misogyny.
Aside from a few users who troll and a few more who I think genuinely have problems with the other gender both male and female it is not too bad.

Firstly you need to define what misogyny is because I thought misogyny was the hatred for women ---
Criticizing ideas perpetuated by women/men that benefit women and hurt men i.e feminism is not misogyny --- infact its something that needs to be done for the original STATED goal of feminism to be achieved i.e EQUALITY --

If you want to grab the parts and exercise and use the art of the quest till every thing becomes second character for you you then require this guide https://tr.im/5YGXY to master how.
The author Joshua Pellicer, has coached tens of thousands of men on relationships and dating and, even when he admits that he was not a normally born grasp of the dating sport and it needed him plenty of failures and rejection to finally understand what works and what does not function he built a powerful course so you to master and digest the technique of seducing women.
The Tao of Badass is the ultimate guide that you should stay on course. Without its guidance, it will get you a lengthier time to appreciate your potential or at worst, not realize it.

I don't think only men or only women are to blame for all the ills of the world.
But that said, women aren't perfect pretty princesses. A lot of stuff that is messed up in the world is women's fault. In fact, in all fairness, roughly half. So, I see nothing wrong with people blaming women for doing some stuff wrong.
Because believe it or not, we're just as equal as men at screwing up.

I'm in the U.S. and its no different here. There's plenty that rant about women from the U.K. as well in here. Its just a problem that's saturated the world I'm afraid. We are a long way from being truly viewed as equal and even farther than that from actually being respected.
