MISOGYNY Among the Fairer Sex.

After poring over “131,000 cases of ‘slut’ and ‘whore’ used in English”—imagine the fun!—they reached the following conclusion:

Women are almost as likely as men to use the terms ‘slut’ and ‘whore’ on Twitter. Not only are women using these words, they are directing them at each other, both casually and offensively; women are increasingly more inclined to engage in discourses using the same language that has been, and continues to be, used as derogatory against them.

This seemed to come as a surprise to everyone but me. I assume it would not have been very surprising to Henry Louis Mencken, either. He famously described a “misogynist” as a “man who hates women as much as women hate one another.”
