Why do people say all conservatives are misogynists?
Actually pisses me off because that's not true.

"All" people aren't any one "thing."
Many people see many conservatives as sexists. This is based largely on platform. The audacity to pretend the authority to hold dominion over a woman's body is to treat her as property, and that is sexist. To deny her access to a method of birth control is sexist. Historically, the GOP has been a party of old white men. They demonstrate no track record of progressive or diverse hiring practices, they have fought to block equal pay initiatives and recently character assassinated a female as shrill, emotional, unbalanced, hormonal and weak.
Now, I realize, as many others do, that not every conservative believes in every policy, and the same works for Dems. However, to focus on the economy at the cost of the continued bias against women, women's rights and women's issues is to be complicit.
It's not okay to say, "Yeah, I don't condone murder, buy by God that guy was a great chef."
It's not okay to say. "Yeah, no bid deal if we continue to degrade women, but what about those tax breaks."
Maybe you hate some policies and are trying to change them from the inside. If so, kudos; better to stand and enforce rather than run and let collapse. So no, not all conservatives are misogynists. But a whole lot are, and they tend to shout the loudest.
