I would say the two are a lot of times entwined but misogyny is more of an actual hatred for women. Like you could be sexist but not a misogynist but all misogynists are sexists (that sounds like one of those Maths/IQ test questions ) These are the definitions

sexism
noun
prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

misogyny
noun
dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

...yeah, I’m overthinking I guess but there are ‘levels’ which I wasn’t sure if there was a line, if that makes sense...

...TS, I can’t talk to you very easily when you look like Piers Morgan with a screwed up face...

Funny story; the other day I forgot I had this avatar, saw my own avatar when I was scrolling down the page, and thought the post was LT. there must be some sort of strong cognitive link!

...see, it’s just so not you at all...poor LT, though, I don’t think it’s him either...

...some of the definitions that I’m reading are suggesting that sexism deals with and defines more the inequalities of sexes, as in salaries not always been equivalent for an equivalent job...?..but misogyny goes deeper into a dislike of..?..well, hatred of I guess, technically...

Sometimes I think it is literally him Ammi... did Piers ever express being a Big Brother fan?

See even by the dictionary definitions I think it's largely the same thing... people don't engage in the former without some element of the latter. I guess going by those, they're actually just different aspects of the same thing; misogyny is just the feelings/beliefs in and of themselves from their conception, whereas sexism is the active form of actually engaging in misogynistic behaviours (rather than just thinking them).

Yeah, I suppose you could say misogyny is more of a conscious thing or that some people who behave in a sexist way don't think hard enough about why sexism comes from misogyny? I don't know. Neither is great is it?
