Well, sure, even language is coded with misogynistic crap. But that’s relatively unimportant compared to active, vivacious, whackadoodle misogyny.

Yes and no. In some ways, I feel the less obvious, more insidious kinds of misogynistic thought, the kinds people generally don’t even realize they have, are just as bad as the craziness. It still works to oppress women, even if only subconsciously, and it is harder to find and call out for the very fact that it isn’t extreme and loud.
