    Ah, yes, women as possessions owned by their husbands and fathers, and used as objects to inflict revenge on other men with, how enlightened and progressive, and not just as shitty and harmful as when they do it. 🙄(heavy /s)

    (and because defensive people like to make up straw people to protect their ego and cognitive dissonance - fuck the entire trump family, this isn’t a defence of any of them, it’s an indictment of how deeply misogyny is rooted in the entirety of society, including leftist circles that consider themselves “progressive” yet are happy to resort to this kind of counterproductive and harmful bullshit)

      I’m not sure how this is misogynistic. If you swap the genders of everybody involved, it would still be fun.

      Let’s imagine a crazy hypothetical: It’s Alternate Reality 1993. Margaret Thatcher retains control of the UK government, having won the leadership election in 1990, but has become increasingly unhinged from her long rule and is now publicly proposing reabsorbing Upper and Lower Canada back into the UK and is relentlessly mocking then-Canadian-PM Kim Campbell about it.

      Canada-UK relations are hopelessly soured.

      And also there are incessant rumours about the Iron Lady having sexual fantasies about her son Mark.

      And, in the winter of Alternate Reality 1993, ousted former-PM Kim Campbell (known political foe of Margaret Thatcher), has a public and torrid affair with Sir Mark Thatcher, making neo-imperialist Margaret Thatcher furious.

      That would be hilarious.

      I’m not a leftist though. Men and women are different and they have always had very different roles in society. Saying otherwise is not progressive and it’s not misogynistic either. Fathers and husbands are defensive of their daughters/wives due to human instinct, not because they “own them”. Men are providers and protect women.

      Ivanka is the one who wants Trudeau and it would also piss off Donald. Everyone would win.

        Source? Because I have evidence to the contrary.

        Thus, for example, biological models (Hutt, 1972; Wilson, 2000) argue that genetic, hormonal, and physiological factors influence gender differences; meanwhile psychoanalytic theory, the theory of social learning and the theory of cognitive development suggest that early learning fully defines the differences in adult gendered behavior. Sociological models such as social role theory (Eagly & Sczesny, 2019; Eagly & Wood, 1991; Thang, 2002) and expectation states theory (Berger, Rosenholtz, & Zelditch, 1980) suggest that specific aspects of social structure, such as the distribution of women and men into different social roles, contribute to persistent behavioral differences between women and men.

        Most of what you said is based on non-human animal studies, where researchers looked at the instincts of wild animals and derived human characteristics from them.
