Most of the women referred to in that way on here are rarely mentioned in any other contex

Even though they have successful careers in their own right, the only reason you bring them up is to sexually objectify them. That's not to say it would be acceptable if you recognised their personal success while also objectifying them, rather to underline how unfair and reductive it is to turn them into the sex objects. That is the essence of your misogyny - men don't have to put up with it.

        It''s not misogyny if you find the target attractive. (General Chat) - avenging canary, Aug 9, 22:23:46
