I think guys "roll their eyes" at the mention of misogyny because it's often misused. I, myself have been called misogynist because I wouldn't damn the porn industry back when we had that flurry of porn posts last year. I'm pretty sure others have been labeled as such for not supporting Clinton's policies, or for being concerned that her gender might be a viability issue during the election (I don't agree, but I can see how others might).

I doubt that the majority of women on this board blindly hurl the word around in that fashion, just as I doubt the majority of men here are misogynists. There are extremes on both ends, and things do get heated, which means both sides can end up on the defensive.
