Earlier: ... Gender relations falls apart
when you start imputing misogynistic
motives that were never there ...
Peter Blaise responds: You almost have it. I think the whole point is
that, after a while, the misogyny, like any habit, is no longer a
conscious effort, but is a seamless and unaware part of their
interchange. The real struggle is trying to bring awareness to what has
become an unaware habit, versus the ardent resistance to that attempted
consciousness raising. Do not confuse consequences with intentions.
Regardless of the intentions, aware or unaware, the effects stand on
their own.
