Quote of the Day

... we have these patriarchal social structures, bastions of male privilege where a dominant man might feel entitled to (and often receive) feminine care and attention from women.  I think misogyny and sexism as working hand-in-hand to uphold those social relations.  Sexism is an ideology that says, "These arrangements just make sense.  Woman are just more caring, or nurturing, or empathetic," which is only true if you prime people by getting them to identify with their gender.  So sexism is the ideology that supports patriarchal social relations, but misogyny enforces it when there's a threat of that system going away.
