Grounds of Misogyny
Misogyny is an attitude that grows due to know-hows, Raising, social influences, and cultural norms. The factors that contribute to causing misogyny is:
Know-hows
Having misogynistic role models, witnessing misogynistic behaviour during childhood, satisfaction from such dogmas, and possessing additional beliefs ranged with misogyny can all play a measure for misogynistic behaviours.
Racial causes
Racial attitudes about women can also play a role. Spiritual attitudes, which may submit that women are lower, submissive, or bad, can contribute to hatred and maltreatment.
Raising
Researchers have shown that childhood experience to native violence and emotional misuse is allied with chauvinism, misogyny, and violence towards women. Rising up in a domestic space and being wide-open to practices of misogyny is often a critical issue in the increase of such behaviours.
Guidelines to Deal with Misogyny
Dealing with misogyny may need some approaches to help yourself. Here are some step ladders you can proceed to care of yourself and others who are facing with the misogynistic behaviour:
Don’t pass over it
Appeal out misogynistic behaviour when you see it and make it clear that it is not acceptable. Don’t just let it pass. It’s not always easy to say something, but if it’s safe to do so, challenge the use of sexist language. Example, “my girlfriend is crazy” … here Saying a woman is “crazy” is a way of discrediting them and undermining their reactions or feelings. It can also be a controlling behaviour because it questions someone’s realities.
Upkeep yourself
Practice self-care and relaxation strategies to deal with stress.Know your boundaries. The person responsible for sexual assault is usually, the perpetrator. If this turns into a dispute, know your own limits and don’t feel guilty for shutting down the conversation.
Speak out against it
In work setting, have a discussion to your human resources department. Don’t validate a sexist commentary with a laugh. By laughing, you’re saying ‘this is OK.’ Ask questions. What did they mean by that? Was it funny? Why did they need to refer to the person’s gender? Or just express outright disapproval. Men who communicate emotion, frustration or voice their concerns are unlikely to face the same censure. We need to close the stages of these double standards.
Create safe spaces
Support and uplift all women. Work to become more aware of the damaging effects of affected misogyny. If misogyny is causing distress or disturbances in your life, you may also find it helpful to consult a mental health professional. They can help you process your understanding, develop new managing approaches, and explore ideas for how to deal with misogynistic behaviour.
