I couldn't open kat's link.

In the other Akin and Galloway are called misogynists. This is defined as hatred of women. I don't think this is what we are seeing. To hate them, the existence of women as people must be recognised, surely. These men have not extended any empathy they feel for others to women, do not extend their theory of mind to them. This blanking of a recognition of women as thinking, feeling beings needs a different name.
