11. Probably depends on how one defines misogyny

I don't mean that to sound flippant, but I doubt there are any who say things like women shouldn't vote or should be submissive to their husbands. But I would wager there's at least some who have some more subtle feelings that come out in interrupting women or not voting for someone for a leadership position. I would count that as misogyny and I think it's very difficult to escape growing up in our society. I've definitely struggled with it and have worked to unpack that in myself. It's really hard to be honest with yourself about what is or might be an animus based on a group as opposed to some other reason that isn't based on the other person being a woman.
