#8 - “WHAT IS MISOGYNY AND FEMINICIDE”

Notas do episódio

Misogyny encompasses feelings of contempt, prejudice, repulsion and aversion to women, and what refers to the feminine. The origin of the term misogyny is Greek and comes from the words miseó, which means "hate", and gyné, which translates as "woman" [a word introduced by the philosopher Antipater of Tarsus to designate the dislike and distrust of women]. The terms misogyny, machismo and sexism are related in the sense that they are sustained from the depreciation of the female gender. FEMINICIDE IS THE MURDER OF WOMEN COMMITTED AS A FUNCTION OF GENDER, THAT IS, THEY ARE KILLED FOR BEING WOMEN. IT'S A HATE CRIME AGAINST WOMEN. Patriarchal culture, centered on the male figure, develops machismo and the foundations of male domination. The concept of gender superiority, instituted by patriarchy over the years, and sexism help to fuel the idea of ​​devaluation and prejudice against women.
