"The question is why the silence of most men to change all this is so palpable."

Misogyny, like racism, homophobia, xenophobia, war, and poverty are ancient problems and seem to be part of our DNA.
   The roots of them are fear, greed, envy, narcissism, and false scarcity. These human foibles are what drive our global corporate capitalist economy. All the niceties of socially liberal change have been unable to humanize global capitalism; fear, greed, envy, narcissism and false scarcity have increased. Thus misogyny persists.
    We need a new economy more motivated by compassion, inclusiveness, and equality.
    Fortunately, the role models for it are alive and doing very well - Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland.
