Why are there so many misogynists on Yahoo Answers?

Some of the questions in Gender Studies are just awful- some are genuine questions, but why are there so many people that think of women as lesser-than or want to control us on this platform?

Update:

Hey! To the one who listed questions, the questions that I find are different (probably because I answer more questions to do with feminism to help educate those people). I see stuff that victim blames women for rape, says that the red pill theory is true, or just generally puts women down, says oppression isn't real, or that women are 'dead'. I saw one a few weeks ago that called for the rape of all women- so that's why I'm asking.

  • Only idiots take gender studies to be of importance. It’s a joke and fun to mock. It’s a useless subject of study made for idiots to feel smart. There is no way it can be taken seriously. I come on here to laugh at all the lame femtards. Gender studies. What a pseudo scientific, anti-intellectual bunch of dogmatic garbage. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I think it’s a safe space for sexists to post their rants. The real sexist types don’t actually see their sexism, ( and this goes for the men who hate women and the women who hate men).  

    A high proportion of users here must have had very bad relationships with girlfriends/ boyfriends, maybe their parents as well.  Most of the extreme misogynists wouldn’t say the kind of thing they post here to their mothers .  “ why do women always lie about ( blah blah blah)..? “ Nobody sane would say this in public.  Luckily the rest of the world knows the Gender Studies section is mainly for trolls and the deranged to post their rants.

    "Why are there so many misogynists on Yahoo Answers?"

    It must be the way you are defining "misogyny" and misogynists.  The actual term misogyny means the hatred of women.  Most feminist on the other hand tend to take any disagreement with them to be misogyny.  So that might be your problem right there.

    Here are all the current questions that appear on two pages from this section right now, going back 12 hours. I would ask everyone reading to think which (if any) of these questions are projecting a hatred of women ... because I can't find even one.

    ======

    -Is censorship so dangerous of a thing that it needs to be stopped, or it might ruin the country?

    -If a guy isn't married or dating seriously and is still sleeping with 20 year olds at 41 will he likely remain a bachelor?

    -Are white Feminists and liberal men aware of the fact that Islamists are using liberalism to attack western civilization?

    -What is worse: Cheating or Dumping 💔 ?

    -Are American boys still raised to be sexist/abusive?

    -Do men deal with this too or is it just a “woman thing” ?

    -Is Melania Trump stupid?

    -Is gender studies a good major?

    -Is sex about strength?

    -What does men lie about the most and what does women lie about the most on average ?

    -what are the 5 Amazing Tips to keep in mind while an option for IVF treatment?

    The better question would be, "Why are most of these people hiding under "anonymous" with their questions?

    Here's a tip: If it isn't true about you, then it shouldn't offend you. I understand that there are buttholes in yahoo chat, but bare in mind that they have just as much right to be stupid as long as it doesn't violate yahoos TOS.

    Hope I Helped ^_^
