Case in point a man in the cinema was talking through the film. 3 ladies sat in front of him asked him to stop talking, he ignored them. I asked him to be quiet and he stopped talking instantly. Surely this wasn't simply because they were female?

Okay just to confirm, the ladies did ask in a polite manner the first time, only to be ignored. The second time they asked more firmly but were still polite, they were ignored again. At this point I'd had enough and told him to be quiet, and made sure the ladies knew I wasn't talking to them but him.

I agree with you men are more often heard then women. Another case in point is the whole mob mentality going on right here in Women's Studies questions with several male participants ganging up to ridicule the female participants. I think this is sick and I plan on writing to Yahoo and telling them exactly how appalling the behaviour of mr. jigglepants, robinson, smially, tanks, happy bullet, and the rest of these cyber bullies is. No wonder there are feminists when evidence of this behavior is so blatantly obvious in a question area that is supposed to be addressing issues relating to women and their experience. You have men making fun of women's genitals, intelligence, looks, opinion and sexual orientation. I am sickened by all of this.

Yes. Stick around this board, and you'll see it in spades. Whenever a woman offers an opinion, and refuse to back down, she is called a "lesbian, b!tch," etc. Misogyny is still very much a factor, and I never knew to what extent until I started visiting this forum.

Surely this was.
You have to remember that certain of our species still think and act like chimpanzees 99.9% of the time.
I am a man....I am embarrassed most of the time by that.
Misogyny is more than a factor...it is an everyday event.

maybe he just didn't like her, or knew she couldn't attack him physically and pose danger, or she reminded him of his ex girlfriend or ex wife, who left him for his best friend, or if all these are wrong...misogyny it is

Misogeny, or woman-hating, hasn't been a factor in our society since 1911 when women were given the vote.

yes & the fact that he doesn't see any woman as a authority figure.
