Monstrous Misuse of Language

Scotland, Northern Ireland and the UK all have female leaders. Men who think it more natural that men should lead are called misogynists. This is a wilful misuse of language. Because its purpose is to convey the impression that such men dislike women. Disliking feminists is not the same as disliking women. Quite the contrary. When John Knox referred to the monstrous "regiment" of women he was similarly referring to the rule of 3: Mary, Queen of Scots; Elizabeth Tudor; and Catherine de Medici.
