Misogyny is far too gentle a term.
A phobia is not just a fear -- feeling creeped out when you walk into a spider web is rational/burning down the house because you saw a dust bunny that might have been a spider is an irrational fear (arachnophobia).
In the patriarchy, a real Alpha -- or even a normal human -- has no reason to fear half the planet. Yet, they do.
They kill women.
The cause serious physical and mental harm to women.
That's genocide, by definition.
"Misogyny" just doesn't describe that adequately.

Rashida Tlaib can't even condemn rape?
What can I say? In the Patriarchy, Gynophobia can be internalized.

Get the Gynophobia mug.Approximately two millennia ago, Colonizers, Occupiers, and Oppressors deliberately sought to erase indigenous Jewish people from their homelands in Israel/Judah. Rather than simply renaming the region, the Empire chose to rename it after the Philistines, who had ceased to exist five centuries prior, spelling it "Palestina," or as it was eventually anglicized, Palestine.
So, the "Palestinians" are just Israelis under their Colonizer name. But does that mean the "Free Palestine" movement means freeing Israel? No.
Just over 100 years ago, "Palestinian" was coined to refer to other Colonizers and Occupiers -- who now accuse the indigenous people of genocide!

Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, kills Gazans when its own genocidal rockets aimed at Israel fall inside Gaza.
Hamas: "Is this Palestinian genocide?"

Get the Palestinian genocide mug.Like Republican Red MAGA, Blue MAGA are libertarian populists who use organizations like "Justice Democrats" to infiltrate the Democratic Party pretending to be members of the party, running for election in safe Blue districts, and then voting against the party platform, siding with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene to protect Russian oligarchs, block marginalized communities from getting clean water and modern infrastructure, and even going so far as denying Ukraine and Israel defenses against genocide. In fact, now that their false messiah Bernie Sanders has renounced Hamas, his cult is renouncing HIM. Even though Israel and Judah have lived in the area now known as Israel for thousands of years, occupiers are now calling for genocide of Israel "from the river to the sea," and people like Rashida Tlaib called that genocide "aspirational." Blue MAGA goes so far as to tear down Missing Children posters and killing senior citizens who happen to be Jewish -- which in their minds means "Zionist" or "Soros" or whatever Blue/Red MAGA is calling them this week.
Blue MAGA: "Can you BELIEVE they censured Rashida Tlaib for genocide?"
Decent people: "Didn't you censure Paul Gossar for making anime about AOC?"
BM: "So? You think Blue MAGA's hate is rational???"
