Spotting and Dealing with a Misogynist

March 5, 2015 By Danielle Hatfield Leave a Comment

I read 12 Ways to Spot a Misogynist on Psychology Today this morning. It’s an insightful piece by Berit Brogaard, D.M.Sci., Ph.D., who is a Professor of Philosophy and the Director of the Brogaard Lab for Multisensory Research at the University of Miami. This is a must read. Why? “They are notoriously hard to spot. They do not come with a label attached, and they may even come across as pro-woman.”

And yes, misogynists can be more than just a selfish lover. They can be on your “team” at work, a family member, your boss and yes, even a client!

After reading it. And re-reading it. I then wondered “Well, now that I know how to spot a misogynist, how do I deal with them?” Which brings me here, writing this post and researching ways to effectively deal with men who have an unconscious hatred of women. I do hope this helps you.

Spotting a misogynist is a bit easier when you know what you are looking for in their behavior. But that doesn’t mean you won’t fall prey to a wolf wearing a prince charming mask. You have to be alert and aware as you venture into any new relationship whether it’s personal or professional.

Are You in an Abusive Relationship? by J. R. Bruns M.D., Psychology Today

The Twisted Mind of the Misogynist by Andrea King

Dealing with a misogynist requires you to speak up when they lash out and continue to engage as politely as possible. What’s that old saying? “It’s easier to deal with a problem when you know what it is.” That is SO true. But it doesn’t mean dealing with a misogynist will be any easier. It’s good to remember that it is okay to leave the abusive situation or delegate to a male counterpart. Building and maintaining healthy relationships should be your focus. If you are stuck in a professional situation where you are forced to deal with a misogynist I recommend reading a few of these posts below.

My dear @thebrandonpierce found it at the local #HabitatReStore and it’s a near match for a desk he inherited that once belonged to his great grandfather. 

I have BIG plans for this beauty!

It will become home to my new @singersewingcompany heavy duty sewing machine and all of my sewing notions. 

This means I can *finally* begin sewing curtains, cushions, and tackle a few other upholstery/restoration projects. 🤗

This #Iris is one of many transplant successes … I moved it a few years ago and it is nearly waist high! 

Is our #CottageGarden picture perfect? No. 

But slowly, with patience and hard work, it’s more lush and colorful… I dare say it’s well on its way to resembling #BeatrixPotter’s beloved garden. 

Now, about those children’s books I’ve been meaning to write and illustrate…🤔

I didn’t share this #watercolorpainting before because I thought it was mediocre at best. I still feel that way - but that’s okay. 

#WatercolorPractice never makes perfect…it makes improvement. 

I’ll probably paint another portrait of him this year to see if I’ve improved my fabric, skin, and hair painting skills. 

I’m thinking maybe the next painting will be a still from his 1968 One Night With You special...or of him in uniform from WWII. 🤔

Do you have a favorite memorable photo/video of #Elvis?

The first #watercolor #painting (on the left) I finished last year. Good, but a bit dull. 

After receiving all of my new #artsupplies this month (thank you @thebrandonpierce 😘) I *HAD* to paint it again… isn’t she a beauty?! (on the right)

I’m slowly working to improve mixing skin tones, painting eyes that have a bit more depth, and a fabric that doesn’t look splotchy…

This #watercolorpractice is inspired by the February 1927 #PictoralReview #CoverArt by  #illustrationArtist #EarlChristy.
