re: #280 Obdicut

Yes. They’re an example of misogyny in our culture.

And one example of this is that ‘he’ is the default pronoun, rather than ‘she’.

My point is that even though this is a problem, I do not feel it is as important to address as attempts to ban women from abortion and contraception access.

There is a limited amount of time and energy in the world. Even of on some metaphysical level, all harms are equal, that doesn’t mean they can, or should be, all equally addressed.

If what you’re saying is that you want to address the causative crap rather than the outputs, I think it’s all a big reinforcing system Oroborusing its way through the mind, and that what some call ‘symptoms’ are also causative of the disease itself. You see a woman get treated bad, it makes you more likely to treat a woman bad.

That’s part of it, yes, but I don’t think you can cure it by only treating the symptoms. As for contraceptive and abortion access, those are very important things, but for many women other types of misogyny (Such as with employment/job opportunities/pay) are far more harmful, especially, again, for those that aren’t middle class white etc. women.
