Feminists
In reply to the discussion: Host duties: [View all]boston bean
(36,816 posts)29. Wow, here we are having a conversation
        with each side explaining themselves a little more clearly.  hurrah!!!!!  
  
Here is my take.  I know men who are sexists, but I do not believe would not fit in the category of a misogynist.  Someone who hates women.
They can feel a gender bias toward women at a particular point in time, maybe not always, and sometimes even unknowing to themselves. The patriarchy infects us all. 
I don't think that means that they hate women.
I hear what you are saying and if we link the two inextricably, I can see how one can come to that conclusion.  
Both are important topics and hey I might be convinced to your way of thinking.  Sometimes you (as in me) just don't get it, until you get it.

        I've gone back and forth a lot about whether discussion of blocks is beneficial or not.
