To ‘destroy’ misogyny (or, for that matter, its opposite – misandry) you would have to arrive at a time when nobody of either sex… felt any need to seize on a secondary characteristic as a way to push their primary dislike. All divorces would have to go swimmingly. Men would pay alimony only with pleasure and enthusiasm. Conversely, any woman who caught their husband cheating would have to say: “Well that was just my husband: I wouldn’t want to express any conclusions about men in general.” Perhaps this is desirable. But achievable? Hardly. The trouble is some people – including some of the most powerful people on the planet – seem to believe otherwise.
Douglas Murray on the perils of utopian thinking. One of these.
“Conversely, any woman who caught their husband cheating would have to say…”
When the government used to keep statistics on divorce it was women who did the cheating that lead to the divorce by a 2to1 ratio.
That’s why they don’t keep that particular statistic anymore. And do you know where these women met the guy they stepped out with?
The vast majority of these divorcees met their new man at their place of work. Yup.
Soooo, Oz, you’re saying to keep women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen?
