This reminds me of when I was debating misogyny throughout history with a group of men. They said men had run the world throughout history and that’s because they are “naturally” better at leading. I asked, “what about women like Joan of Arc?”, they said, “Okay, but that’s just one whore throughout all of history”...

I felt my face heat with not just rage, but embarrassment and sadness. And realization too, I guess.

I’ve never heard such hate speech before...

What an awful experience, my goodness. I’m sorry you had to go through that, how infuriating!

Misogyny is a canon trait of the patriarchy. If men truly had to be introspective of the immense harm the “world builders perpetuated, they’d crumble under the weight of the pain they’ve caused. It’s exactly why the patriarchy needs men to be disassociated. It’s centuries and centuries of this learned disgustingness and it’s time for it to come to a close.

Also... the irony of calling a very known virgin a whore. 🤦🏻‍♀️
