==Misogyny==
Misogyny is sexist discrimination against women. Misogyny takes the form of ''institutional oppression,'' meaning that it is part of all the workings of a society. It's built into the culture, and makes trouble for women every day. This happens because a patriarchal society is based on misogyny, by definition. This kind of institutional oppression takes the form of pay inequality, difficulty in legally obtaining certain human rights (such as the ability to vote, own property, or have legal personhood), and widespread belief that sexual assault is normal. Misogyny doesn't affect all women the same, because oppressions are ''intersectional.'' Black women experience a mix of misogyny as well as racism, which is called [[misogynoir]]. Trans women experience a mixture of [[transphobia]] and misogyny, this is called [[transmisogyny]].
