Women have fought a long and hard battle to be seen and heard in the world. Gone are the days of the “fairer sex” accepting being “less than”. Yet, you’ll still find people spewing all sorts of discrimination, hatred and utter rubbish about girls and women. New research also shows a widening gap between young men and women in their attitudes towards gender equality.

A community called Not How Girls Work is fighting the good fight. Calling out clueless misogynists is the hill they’re willing to die on. With more than 759 thousand members, it’s “a place to laugh at all those clueless to how girls work.” The community refuses to give publicity to podcasts, tweets or public figures "who make a profit or following off of intentionally disparaging women online/in media". But they won't think twice about clapping back at someone who needs schooling on how not to be sexist. Keep scrolling for our favorite examples of misogynists being put on their place.

Even in less terrifying contexts, the "it's not creepy if he's attractive" narrative misses the whole point of consent. Yeah, sometimes people are more attracted to attractive people and therefore they are more likely to consent. But the reason it's not creepy is because of the consent, not the attractiveness.

The term “misogyny” comes from the Greek word “mīsoguníā”. With misos, meaning “hatred,” and gunē, meaning “woman.” In essence, it’s hatred towards women. Or any acts of contempt towards them. And there are many… male privilege, patriarchy, gender discrimination, harassment, belittling, violence and objectification.

The whole point, which non Americans might miss, is this. A lot of women were asked the question, "Would you rather meet a bear or a man on a strange pathway?" Most women answered, "A bear, because you wouldn't have to wonder if you were about to die." Men got upset and started yelling, "Not all men!". Women said, "Sure, but how do we know which one it is?"

This paper, published in the Industrial Psychiatry Journal states that misogyny has been around for ages. And there was mention of it in ancient Greek mythology. “According to Hesiod, before women came into existence, men were coexisting peacefully as companions to Gods until Prometheus decided to steal the secret of fire from the God which angered Zeus,” reads the paper.

“Zeus punished mankind with an evil thing for their delight called Pandora, the first woman who carried a box which unleashed all evils such as labor, sickness, old age, and death.” If you ever wondered where the phrase "opening Pandora's box" came from, now you know.

Nowdays, social media is creating a breeding ground for misogynistic thoughts and behaviors. And some young guys are being groomed into following the “cult” unknowingly. Researchers say extreme posts are being amplified by algorithms. It’s creating a culture where these ideologies seem like a way of life.

“Harmful views and tropes are now becoming normalized among young people,” said Dr Kaitlyn Regehr, one of the lead researchers. “Online consumption is impacting young people’s offline behaviors, as we see these ideologies moving off screens and into school yards.”

Regehr added that adults don't realize how algorithms work and how harmful they can be. And how their insecurities shine through in their social media addictions. Some parents aren't seeing their own faults, and therefore could struggle to break the cycle.

The study was conducted by UCL, the University of Kent and the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL). The team said teens were “micro-dosing” on bad content that plays into their vulnerabilities. Like loneliness or loss of control. They added that TikTok algorithms “gamify” harmful content. So to kids, the toxic rhetoric is seen as entertainment.

Another member of the team, Geoff Barton said the findings show that algorithms “have a snowball effect”. While the content is quite extreme, it’s packaged in a way that makes the viewer want more. “This is deeply worrying… particularly so in respect of the amplification of messages around toxic masculinity and its impact on young people…” cautioned Barton.

Misogyny isn't a new player on the internet. You might remember "Gamergate" from 2014. What began as a debate around gaming ethics turned into a massive harassment campaign against female journalists. The movement shone a spotlight on sexism in the gaming industry. And the need to diversify the sport.

1. I can quit my job without fear that my boss will kill me for leaving him. 2. I can sue my boss for harassment if he treats me the way some husbands treat their wives 3. I get paid. 4. I go home at the end of an 8 hour shift and I don't think about work at all. 5. I only stay at the job as long as it continues to be worth staying for and I continue getting raises, treated okay, not being abused or harassed, etc. 6. men also have bosses and don't consider themselves their 'wives' which I think is hilarious because it says more about the man who created this having a crippling inferiority complex than anything else. 7. A marriage shouldn't be looked at as a job where you work for someone. It's a partnership where you support one another. Your wife should be your teammate, not your slave. Also please stop with these 'omg she realizes you're right feminism is wrong' memes as this has never happened in the history of time.
