Misogyny is like an AK-47 of a word, and you keep pulling it out when a pellet gun would do.

You're over-the-top. Someone using a word you don't like in anger doesn't necessarily make them a misogynist. Maybe a bit of an ass, but misogyny is a very, very specific word that loses meaning when you toss it out any time someone says "twat" or "bitch."

Okay, um, first of all, the "bitch" and other words threads were in other posts; I assumed (perhaps naively) that we were discussing my posts in this thread.

As to that, I have calmed down considerably on the language issue. I do still feel that those words are misogynist, though. And I don't consider it a bad thing to call them what they are.

And brony culture, as it were, IS misogynist. The word is -- "brony" is a men-only subfandom/subculture group that purposely excludes women. They also browbeat, threaten, insult, hurl slurs at, etc. woman fans if they dare to think they have a space in the fandom. Further, they act as if because they are men, their opinions, feelings, and fandom of the show are more valid and more important than those of the female fans the show was made for (particularly, I've seen bronies en masse throw fits over the fact that MLP toys are made with - gasp! - little girls in mind, not grown men). They essentially seek to co-opt a show that was made for women and girls because they are men and have decided that space should be theirs, and that is misogynistic.

Misogyny is a word that should be used whenever misogyny occurs or is present. It doesn't "lose its meaning" because we use it to address even more subtle, culturally-validated forms of misogyny like sexist language (bitch, etc.), magazine covers, or subcultural groups where misogyny is normalized and enabled (bronies, the Republican party, etc.).
