re resp:154: The same argument is often applied to general types of 
abortion.

It is a fact that only women can get pregnant, and so only women can be 
specified when discussing abortion.  If you think that inherently means 
that any opposition of any kind to abortion is mysogynistic, then that 
is what it means to you.

I think mysogyny is something else; hatred of women.  If you want to 
define it differently, I can't stop you.  I do think you're wrongly 
defining the word.  I also think that is creating an artificial barrier 
to communicating on the subject.  Further, I think that preventing 
reasonable communication is the intention of re-defining "mysogyny" in 
that context.
