There was a posting awhile back that misused the word "misogyny."

The correct definition of misogyny is "a hatred of women."

There probably aren't any real misogynists on this forum. But if you were, here's your chance to have your say.

I'm going on vacation now.

I just voted for Canada. Putting Canada at 100%. Nobody else vote, the poll results are hilarious this way.

Joking aside, I think self-centeredness tends to cross genders in any country. I've found the Canucks I've met here to be extremly full of themselves, convinced they're the most educated, erudite, global people in the world, and that being ignorant of Canada is evidence of overall ignorance. Their main evidence for this is that they're more global and better educated than their big neocon neighbor to the South. Which may be true, but being smarter than the U.S. is about as prestigious as winning the special Olympics. Also, as a global player, Canada has not particularly called attention to itself in a way that would warrant everyone being knowledgable about it.

I'm from Wisconsin, by the way.

I'm think the mods did some cleaning recently. Thanks, Mods!!!

Nope, no misogynists on this board. No racists. No white-supremacists, child molesters, rapists, petty criminals, psychos, schizos, drunks, druggies, sex addicts, fetishists, rabid nationalists, etc. Been on this board since 2001, and all users are carefully screened and deemed certifiable.

Er, certifiably normal, I mean....

Nobody really hates women. Sometimes we love them the wrong way. Most of the time, we don't understand you for the exact reasons we don't understand ourselves. You gals don't always yourselves, either. Hopefully, we figure it out, later. Hopefully.

Okay, I take it back, there are a tiny minority who are simply sick. Haven't noticed many around here, though. If a guy has a different opinion than some particular woman, doesn't mean he hates all a ya, though.

Also, there's the guys who are just pullin' your chain. Please exclude them from the rest of us who simply disagree about one or two things. That's the way things really are. People disagree sometimes. Really. Disagreement does ot equal hate, though.

I guess I just don't see how being superpower requires intelligence. The people of South Korea, for example, are on average more educated and informed than the peopl of China, as are the people of Japan. China could still take both of them in a fight. A monkey is smarter than a crocodile. I could go on.
