用法筆記

Subject is usually an institution, text, speech, or behaviour rather than a single insult; pairs with adjectives that scale or locate the attitude (open, casual, everyday, deep, internalised). Distinguish from 'sexism', which can describe any gender-based prejudice; misogyny specifically targets women.
