I don't get what's up with people nowadays throwing up the adjective "misogynistic" everywhere, when 80% of the time they're really not seeing something misogynistic, but rather some ideologically conservative crap.

conservative ideology is misogynistic

misogyny, as defined by webster, is "hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women." we use the term to make it clear that this contempt and prejudice is against women specifically.

conservative ideology seeks to actively harm women who dare be anything more than servants to men. to have contempt for a group of people unless they're effectively enslaved is to have contempt for that group in general.
