Misogyny has an objective definition, but deciding that someone has a hatred, dislike or mistrust of a demographic group does require a subjective interpretation.
False. Me referring to an individual woman or small group of women as bimbos does not and cannot reasonably be 'subjectively' determined to be interpreted as me feeling that way about women in general. That is just you making a leap that you cannot support.
You are correct to note that I cannot prove that he is a misogynist.
Case closed.
And that is because I am not Donald Trump. I am left to interpret his words and deeds. And when your words and deeds are directed against enough individuals of a particular demographic for reasons that go beyond a mere description of who they and their particular characteristics, then you raise yourself to the level of the label.
You are not Donald Trump, but you are similar in that you smear people who you dislike or disagree with. He calls people childish names, like bimbo, in order to discredit them, you call people names, like misogynist or racist, in order to discredit them. You hate what you are and who can blame you.
Let's put the shoe on the other foot. You would probably agree that Hillary is corrupt or a liar, right? But what if I responded by saying that the instances you cite as examples for why Hillary is corrupt and/or a liar are singular instances that applied to that particular situation. And thus, because you are unable to prove that she applies the same to all situations, you have not proven Hillary to be corrupt and/or a liar.
The difference lies in the word and its definition. To be a misogynist requires that you look at all women with hatred or a feeling of superiority. An accurate word for Trump is bully because he bullies everyone--male, female, black, white, everyone. You are breaking down his behavior by group so you can smear and discredit him. He treats everyone the same. If you disagree with Trump--be you male or female--he will attack you personally. Here is an example:
Person A: Mr. Trump I disagree with your stance on the boarder.
Trump: Well no one cares what you think because you are an ugly loser.
Now, Person A could be male or female, it matters not to Trump. Any disagreement is viewed by Trump as a personal attack so he launches a personal attack in return. Its incredibly childish and insecure but for you and others to claim it to be misogynist when he does it to women is every bit as dumb.
I really don't understand this defense. You are presented with multiple instances of someone acting in a misogynistic manner, but because he didn't apply those statements or actions to all females, you believe it is inaccurate to call him a misogynist? Would you feel better if I left the accusation as he is making statements and performing deeds that are misogynistic in nature?
NO. I don't think that calling a particular woman a name meets the objective definition of misogyny. If it did, everyone is misogynist. You seem to want Trump to treat women differently than he does men. THAT would be sexist.
First, I explicitly agreed with you that leftist have uttered a word so horrible as "bimbo" and that they were misogynistic for making that statement. Second, you are absolutely wrong to believe that no one believed those uses were misogynistic. I would go ahead and try to find a particular citation, but you are just as likely to dismiss the evidence as evidence of more "liberal dishonesty." Let me know if I am wrong in that assumption and I will go ahead and present evidence of someone fighting back against those attacks as misogynistic.
But before I do, let me ask you this: You brought up those examples of leftists because of what? Did you really and truly just ask them as an ironic example of where someone could have accused them of misogyny (but would have been wrong to do so) or did you bring them up because you wanted to illustrate hypocrisy?
I didn't bring them up as evidence of liberal misogyny. I brought them up as evidence of liberal hypocrisy.
