“Popular misogyny: a zeitgeist” Discussion

Sarah Banet-Weiser does a lot to distinguish Popular Misogyny from Popular Feminism. She notes that both movements are at odds with one another and that while the popular feminism movement is prominent and growing, the popular misogyny movement as an opposition remains much the same as it once was and yet still stays as effective. While much of the feminist movement is forward thinking and progressive, many people are not realizing that the misogyny movement still retains much of its power. So while we think that many of our problems have been solved for the better, we have really just been ignoring that they are there.
