Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Maybe that's why it doesn't make sense to me. There has never been anything in my experience that has made me think of women as lesser than men.
I mean I realize misogyny exists, it just is something I have difficulty understanding.
If you have difficulty understanding it, try to find any piece of media in a regular person's day that shows hairy women acting like neanderthals.
The idealization of the female body beyond the standard of reality is a form of misogyny. It says "you're not womanly enough".
The same can be said about the male body and misandry, but that bit isn't as visibly prevalent because sex sells and the ideal woman is imagined for sex.
You're talking about identifying if and he's taking about understanding it. Most of us can support misogyny all over the place, but if men and women are fully equals in your mind it just seems weird.
Identifying something is the first step in getting to know it. I helped identify, the rest is up to each person to decide.
The weirdness lies in the differences, such as the ability to bear children, which is pretty much not equal. Breasts can be equalized and so can the inward/outward genitals, size vs agility/dexterity, direction of thought... Yeah, I'm not seeing other unequal differences right now other than the baby thing.
I understand it in an abstract way, it's just hard for me to wrap my mind around more concretely because it's just not a mode of thinking I can put myself in.
That's fine. People usually don't. To recognize something in some way requires knowledge or experience. And we can neither know everything nor experience it.
Maybe they should, Data.
Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us, human history would be a lot less bloody.
