My proposed feminist analysis of misogyny hence aims to ameliorate the concept by highlighting misogyny’s political dimensions, rendering it psychologically more explicable, and supporting a clean contrast between misogyny and sexism. The analysis also yields an extension for the term “misogyny” that dovetails nicely with usage patterns among feminists. This limits the extent of my ameliorative proposal’s revisionism, and also suggests that this pattern of usage has a theoretical unification, rather than being ad hoc.
