What is the root cause of misogyny?

Ok, perhaps crab mentality was harsh as you really believe your position and are simply holding to it. This is a good debate.

For this, cause means the trigger or action that some reaction matches with. Fault means faulty, or not correct, broken, or failed.

Again the woman does as she should.

Let's delay for a moment and work to see if we can agree on fault and cause as being different. If we can not then I will look for other words to explain the same.

Fear that women will reject or fear that women will cause harm, what are they afraid of? As I told before I think that the fear angle is valid and part of it. I agree with your view on the result. Unless you suggest it be solved by force, we must know what the man is afraid of. I think it is rejection.

Hate does not always equal violence.

Force should be used to prevent violence in whatever strength needed to get the job done.

I don't think hate can be removed by force.

No, fear that they will demand to be treated equally. No one whines as much as someone losing privilege.

I don't remember ever seeing that as the issue for this, did a man tell you this or how did you learn that ? What is the privilege being lost? I think equality is a smokescreen on this issue. Did some man tell that he is in fear that some woman will ask or demand to be treated equally? I have never heard this complaint. Full equality is hard on everyone because skills and abilities are not equal.

Your correct, all ppl usually complain if they are told no after being told yes. They also complain if they believe they have a right to be told yes and are told no.

Equality is another great topic. Not the issue for this one. No one is equal to another, but we can have equivalent value. It is very much an emotional word these days that often gets twisted.

Fear comes out of losing control of themselves, or from shame about their impulses, all of which gets projected on the woman they see as the cause. It is mania. It is a mental health problem that needs healing.. It is a need to destroy what makes them feel bad.
This is misogyny. It starts with sexual urge and goes beyond to the need to objectify and control women. Religion comes into this because all religions dictate some kind of morality, dont kill, dont molest, behave yourself. Since men cannot be depended upon to control their urges it falls on the women to somehow manage it. So diminish that which you fear and make it something less than human.
This the same cause for racism - control of that which you fear.

Yes, cause and fault are different words, with different meanings. It is only in some contexts that they are roughly synonymous.

But I repeat this:

As for your last sentence, you got the right words, but seem to have put them in the wrong order: something in the man triggers hate [toward] women. Do you disagree with this?

I can understand the feeling about it, but this argument does not flow logically. You are suggesting that the root cause is the shame of sexual impulse. I agree that the impulse is in the path but before the rejection. The rejection is between the impulse and the hate.

Many mental health issues are about finding the proper causes and adjusting something to have a different path. In that, we are agreed, but it is not shaming in the man, although perhaps shame of the rejection. Without the rejection, nothing to have the shame of.

Women also have strong urges and at certain times of the month will actively hunt down a man. But that is not the thing of the issue in this case. Men however do not reject very often, but it does happen. A few times when I have rejected a woman nicely, some hate develops.

I don't see racism and misogyny as the same cause. Would be happy to discuss racism in a different thread sometime, that is another interesting topic.

no, I do not agree, the rejection is in the path. If we remove the reject the path will flow differently. Again.. the rejection is the proper action. Do we agree that rejection is the proper action if the woman does not want the man?

Of course it is "proper" for a woman to reject a man she does not want. This is not in dispute, and never has been (in this discussion).

If we remove the man, the path will flow differently.
If we remove the woman, the path will flow differently.
If we substitute the man for another man who is not a misogynist, the path will flow differently.
And so on.

  • Rejection of a man is sometimes followed by a misogynistic response, but only if the man is a misogynist
  • Other social events (unaccompanied by rejection) are sometimes followed by a misogynistic response, but only if the man is a misogynist.
  • The rejection of a man is never followed by a misogynistic response if the man is not a misogynist.
  • Misogynistic behaviour never occurs - despite the presence of rejection, or some other triggering event - unless the man in question is a misogynist.
Rejection is not sufficient to give rise to misogynistic behaviour. It occurs only when the man is a misogynist. Rejection often happens, but a misogynistic response to it does not, except when the man is a misogynist. It is misogyny, not rejection, that is the common factor.

This topic looks for a cause of misogyny (not a cause of, or trigger for, misogynistic behaviour). Your focus is fixed on rejection, which might trigger misogynistic behaviour in a misogynist, but is not a cause of misogyny itself.

I suppose it's possible that continued rejection might lead, in time, to the emergence of misogyny. I don't know that this is true, but I don't know that it isn't, either. The point here is that, if misogyny does emerge for this reason, it is because the man's response to rejection is aberrant, and I offer empirical, repeatable, testable evidence to back this up: rejection does not lead to misogyny or to misogynistic behaviour in the vast majority of men.

I think it is OK in this thread, though both have been subjects of numerous ones in the past.

Most agree that there isn't a substantive difference between racial and religious prejudice, that is they are examples of the same action on two different variables.

My point is that prejudice based on sexual orientation is basically the same as is gender.

All are "us" vs "them" issues. If misogyny was rejection based, lesbians who got rejected a lot would also display misogyny, yet they don't.

What was the natural benefit in the hate and oppression? What is the pay off?

A few things I can think of that spurs this hatred:

Vagina/uterus envy.
They are property that can be stolen, elope, and thus a liability.
They can seduce one to lose his senses.
Men are naturally gay, and thus women are competition.
We hate that which we fear. What is the cause of fear?

What do you think?
This topic asks for "the root cause" of misogyny, not for a trigger that might provoke hateful (i.e. misogynistic) behaviour from a misogynist in a particular circumstance. Fair enough, I will try to pursue that aim.

I'm not convinced by any of the proposed things that spur this hatred (see quote, above), but (in fairness) I don't really have any alternatives to offer. Prehistory featured a lot of 'might means right'. This isn't quite misogyny, but it features objectification of women, non-consensual sex, treatment of women as second-class citizens, and so on. Not a great background, for sure, but not quite misogyny: hatred for women. But it is getting close, too close for (moral) comfort. Perhaps misogyny grew out of this background?

Could misogyny, then, be a simple personality trait, an extension of the male supremacist agenda I just described? For me, I would say no, but I can't prove it; perhaps it is so? I think misogyny is a pathological extension to the bullying behaviour just considered. I consider it an affliction, rather than a poor attitude. But that's just opinion. Is there any empirical evidence we can refer to? Real, actual, evidence, not just opinion?

What exactly do you mean if remove the rejection? Rejection is not a thing, it is denying access to the body. The only way removal of rejection can happen is if the man forces himself, which is rape. Yes, we agree women should not be raped.
