Hello girlies!
I thought to send you a link to today's The Australian editorial India must overturn misogyny.
- The Australian
- January 02, 2013
I formally request that you contemplate
how to reconfigure your nascent abuse of the misogyny word, now that it is
obvious that Susan Butler deliberately distorted the role of dictionaries as
being to ''clean - up the language''
ABC PM 17/10/12
And worse - the arch - leftist are also trying to help: The
Guardian has also distorted on 17/10/12 with: ''While the Oxford English
Dictionary reworded its definition a decade
ago....''
It is simply
untrue!
But that is OK - one for all for the
sisterhood! All distortions and cart before horse statements too [girlie -
person Caro SMH] - so long as the girlies' cause is advanced - and no one
researches it!
I just did - and shame to these feminist
fools who are an insult to the heroines of earlier years.
I have also put together a series of thoughts and valid links that mocks the girlie PM even more than will history.
Yes I understand the innate contradiction.

Misogyny definition to change after Gillard speech 17/10/ 12 SMH:
SUSAN BUTLER: The debate certainly
brought it to our attention. I always think of myself as the person with the mop
and the broom and the bucket, you're sort of coming in and cleaning up the language after the party's
over. And in this case it was a fairly big party, and what
was left on
the floor was 'misogyny'.
This is absurd - despite thecontinuum of
the un -heroic efforts of the leftie femininist girle efforts at the SMH on 17
October 2012
Misogyny definition to change after Gillard
speech
Feminist, author and speaker Jane Caro told
Fairfax today that words changed all the time
and said it was certainly not a problem for
feminism that "misogyny" had lost a bit of
its fire power.

Ms Caro suggested the
definition change may also be a reflection of the rise in the status of
women.
"It was acceptable 100
years ago, 50 years ago to hate women," Ms Caro
said.
"As the attitude towards
women has softened ... it's entirely understandable that the meaning of the word
describing that emotional state may also have
softened."
Ms Caro added that she did not like to call
someone "a sexist" or "a misogynist"
because that insulted an entire person.

"Tony Abbott is not a
misogynist or a sexist," she said. "He is guilty of misogynist or sexist
statements."

17 Oct 2012 – JULIA GILLARD: I will not be lectured about sexism and
misogyny by this man! ... But
the dictionary's editor, Susan Butler, says that's out of date. ... SIMON MUSGRAVE: This has already been reflected by the
Oxford English

The hast in which the Macquarie
Dictionary weakened the definition of ‘misogynist’ brings it no credit. It may
be a useful reference for Australian words, but I would not rely on Macquarie
for international English words such as ‘misogynist’ where Oxford or Websters
are held in much higher repute.
The Editor of Macquarie is Susan Butler,
and by all accounts she called an urgent meeting of the board of editors
specifically to redefine misogyny. This shows appalling judgement – why the
urgency to change the meaning, when the premier dictionaries in the world
(Oxford and Webster) continue to apply the Greek roots of ‘hatred of women’, the
antonym being misandry? All Butler and her fellow editors have achieved is to
degrade the reputation of their dictionary and call to attention the arbitrary
nature of their
work.
