And it makes me so proud to be a DUer!

Misogyny was created by the men in power by depicting the feminine as weak, soulless, in need of punishment, ready to emasculate males at any moment, witches with demonic power and basically the weapons of Satan to snare man with their power. What this means is that the female is terrifying to men lest they should be overpowered. Any perusal of history, especially in religious cultures shows this clearly. It’s an easy jump from fearing and hating women to fearing and hating men who are perceived as women.
