Misogyny: Is sport part of the problem or part of the solution?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

What is misogyny?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Misogyny is prejudice, malice and\/or contempt for women. Sadly, it is rife in our society. Literalists cling to the word’s origins and insist that misogyny means hatred of women, but it means more than that. The word has evolved to encompass the more widely held attitudes and behaviours that relegate women to a subordinate position and maintain the power imbalance which characterises male\/female relations. It is these attitudes – and the conduct which flows from them – which prevent us achieving genuine equality.<\/span><\/i> –\u00a0<\/span>Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

This definition, from Member of the House of Lords and legal scholar Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws, encompasses the full reality of misogyny, both today and throughout history. Misogyny is different from other forms of \u2018group based\u2019 discrimination: normally these beliefs (such as racism and homophobia) are aimed at groups who are a minority in society, whereas women are a majority.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
