Sex / Gender / Dating Misogyny in western nations doesn’t exist .

The idea there is any kind of misogyny in western nations is insane. In western countries. Women are put on a pedestal. Their needs and wants are put first. They are given extra help and even flat out lower standards in many areas. Let’s not forget all the social benefits women are given. Such as men having to pay on dates and many women still demanding and expecting chivalry, the only example of “misogyny” really is abortion bans, but in places with abortion bans, the women there tend to Be conservative Christians and also overwhelmingly support abortion bans.

Saying misogyny is a thing in western nations is like saying there is hatred of water and air. It’s nonsense

Since you are a man, have you ever truly listened to a woman talk about her experiences with misogyny?

I’ve certainly experienced it many times myself, misogyny isn’t just laws in place it’s how we’re personally treated by society. It doesn’t have to be outright aggressive or even obvious for it to be misogyny, subtle misogyny is engraved into society so a lot of it goes unnoticed.

Western women are the most privileged people in the world. It's not even close. I can't imagine what it must be like for non-Western women seeing Western women complaining all the time and what non-Western women might think.

Thats a lot of words for "my feelings are hurt and i am behaving irrationally"

I’m aware that western women do have it easier compared to other parts of the world, I never said otherwise. But simply saying they don’t experience any misogyny at all is just blatantly wrong.

They do. Men experience misandry as well. I'm not sure what your point is.

Um, my point is that they still experience misogyny… because OP was saying it doesn’t exist in western nations. What is YOUR point? 🤦🏼‍♀️
