Misogyny is so strange, as it will mock and even kill something just because women like it. If women like stuff they're supposed to like (romance novels, romantic comedies, cutesy anime, female centered TV shows) they will be mocked for it, but if women like something that's marketed towards men, even more so. Shows like Supernatural and Sherlock actively wrote episodes and characters to mock their female fans. Sons of Anarchy had one of it's very popular female characters brutally raped and eventually murdered. The MCU won't stop listening to angry young men when they don't like shows and movies (She Hulk, Captain Marvel, Agatha, Black Widow) that aren't even about them. Why does the demographic even matter here? Is women's money different than men's? There are more of us, why is so much media pandering to the young male demographic. It's so stupid, just let women enjoy and create fandoms. Not everything needs to be filtered through the male experience or a sexed experience at all.

I do feel that some men / boys have a very unhealthy entitlement, but look at how soccer players behave, or how tech bosses behave (all men) and you start to see how role models can be good or bad, and there is an influence there.

I would hope this is less of an issue on fedi and that we can all move forward in the right direction and just treat each other respectfully regardless what or who we choose to be. I do feel we are building a nice culture here.

This is some way off but

International day of women and girls in science – 11th February

what can we do here on fedi, to really clebrate this? How can we celebrate this?
