Is all this recent misogyny just a prelude for something else?

...like, say, a woman running for president?
Are they trying to innure us to women being attacked as if that's normal so they can sharpen their knives against Hillary and get even more vile against her??

It's not recent, and I don't think it has anything to do with Hillary Clinton. MerryBlooms Mar 2015 #4

This sounds far more than slightly plausible to me. hifiguy Mar 2015 #5

They're after women's suffrage. Scuba Mar 2015 #6

I've thought that for some time, they will push it. Rollback. Party like it's 1895. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #7

"Othering" is a very useful hate tool.

It's so ingrained in our society, and sadly many people don't even recognize it.

The reason misogyny is in the headlines is because women on social media are able to pick up the ball and run with it. Even with the added and much needed media attention, men will swarm to punish women for speaking up. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I don't think HRC has much, if anything, to do with the insanity that is being seen, particularly at the state level.

Go and Google "Gamergate" and "Anita Sarkeesian" (for a start). Misogyny: not just Republicans, not just politicians, not just Americans, not limited to right-wingers trying to restrict access to abortion and birth control.
