MISANDRY - You Too?

The Sky programme "The Pledge" recently featured a female panellist talking about misogyny and it got me

thinking.(no bad thing!!)...

................................................................................................................

What to make of this protesting progeny

Fixated on misogyny? -

E.G. hatred towards women by us men.

In the interests of impartiality

We should hear about mean misandry

To add some needed balance now and then.

 

Both words are in the dictionary

That's obvious for those who see -

Indicating human behaviour goes back years,

So let's try and remain objective

And retain a cool perspective.....

Avoiding agenda-driven jeers and smears..

...................................................................................

Thanks for the interest, folks. For my part, I'm surprised the
complainers haven't added an "ism" to the word.

More politization means more division--it benefits only a powerful few in the end.

Think of how politicians appeal to us based upon our opinions of the most polarizing ideals, and then proceed to run ungoverned by the populace once elected--we are easy targets for propaganda, and that's been proven time after time after time...

PS
This is all said in the belief that laws should account for everyone, equally--that, in itself, should cause us to look more closely upon our judicial system than our elected officials.

Maybe this argument will come full circle to nonresolution if I continue...

Yes OK. I take your point -

...and I'm an older man just now, and I'm too old for wars.
and we will like the folk we like, whatever be the cause
We all will hate the folk we shun
Not cat'gor-ising anywun.
People are just people, no need for modern laws.
