Misogyny, dictionary definition.....
"dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women."
We're hated! But we're nice? We're low on the list though, only just are actions driven by misogyny being considered hate crimes. Like, right now.

And the woman , "Shan who helped launch a police campaign to record misogyny as a hate crime has received hundreds of abusive messages".

She's from Nottingham, it's not me!!
Well I blame Brexit!
On hearing the results of the referendum, hoards of otherwise upstanding citizens took to the streets, as a Lycanthrope does at full moon, and committed unspeakable acts of misogyny.
Misogyny, like anti semitism, is endemic in the Labour Party, particularly the far left. Perhaps the reason Jeremy Corbyn, a lifelong Eurosceptic, became a lukewarm Remainer, was his fear of unleashing mass misogynism?
Corbyn doesn't have much of a front bench, because they've all resigned, but when he did have one, the positions of power we're all taken by men. A female challenger to his leadership recently had her office bricked and received much online abuse along these lines..
"A little fat lesbian"
"Bitch"
"A f****** b******"
Oh and there's many more.
Some links if you wished to read more about misogyny in the Labour Party

Corbyn, in his naive bumbling manner, asked Theresa May in her first PMQ, "What have the Conservatives ever done for women" , her immediate reply, "they keep making us Prime Minister". OOOO Game set and match to the lady!!
Corbyn may not be an anti Semitic misogynist but he tolerates it in his party.
Well now we have a female PM, let's hope that as she brings in new measures to combat hate crimes she includes misogyny.
"Most victims of the UK hate crimes were Muslim girls and women aged from 14 to 45 in traditional Islamic dress. The perpetrators were mainly white males aged from 15 to35. "
So what is this? Racism? Religious intolerance? Or misogyny? Why women? Are they cowards? Small penis syndrome?
Well it has to be Brexit doesn't it? Stands to reason.
Oh hang on though, this was November not June.
