It outright is misogyny, particularly since his claim about the washing machine being bad in any way is entirely unsupported and completely false.

Further complete idiocy:

Yes, he gets his claim of "women unhappy" from an actual study, but either ignores or misrepresents the results of said study, which concludes largely that women consider themselves to have better lives, and have better lives, but feel unhappy because they now compare themselves to a larger scope of possible achievements.

And while he's correct that the pill is shit and does a lot of harm in women, it's utterly disgusting to turn that around into "the church is right". No, the conclusion here is that men need to "man the fuck up" and get their tubes tied, and their rubbers on. (And the refusal of many here probably also is a good source for the unhappiness above.)

I could go further, but to properly address how much of that article is vile lies would require a post bigger than the article itself.

At the end of the day he is absolutely posting with a fucking agenda, and that is misogyny. Trying to deny that is utterly incomprehensible and reprehensible.



Maybe I just have an incorrection definition of misogyny. I would call it a sexist agenda, not necessarily a misogynistic one.


  misogyny/mɪˈsɒdʒ(ə)ni/noun
  dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
Trying to claim the correct thing to do is to make women happier by limiting the scope in which they can live their lives and by making them more "blissfully unaware" entirely fits this.


Fair.
