There is no industry tribunal. The legal code is problematic and inadequate too.

It’s a good idea though. If Hollywood wanted to end ‘cancel culture", they could do so with a tribunal set up inside the industry, a peer review process to examine grievance issues provided they could guarantee that there would be no retributive act that prevented cast and crew from earning a living. Give people an option to talk about these issues outside social media.

I actually really like that idea.

There is no easy or practical legal recourse. The adjudication process is designed for less nuanced or out and out criminal conduct not for sociocultural changing dynamics.

Again, misandry is like reverse racism. It’s not an actual thing in the same way because that’s not how power structures are stacked.

Further misogyny vs. misandry is not equal to men vs. women. There is no doubt that women participate in a culture of misogyny. As girls, our first exposures to the dynamics of misogyny are actually handed to us at our mother’s knee. I know it was for me. Not my father, my mother. Calling out creepy sexual behavior in men doesn’t negate that fact, it’s just not one author’s focus.

Read more authors and you’ll see different foci. Nicole Chardenet is one author who focuses on female participation in a culture of misogyny.

Misogyny affects men negatively too. Elle Beau ❇︎ writes about patriarchal structure in general and how it affects and diminishes both sexes. She has written several articles around the idea of women acting abusively to men by denying them emotional breadth and the ways we women do this.

Maybe if I ever get over my block, I’ll write feminist articles from a hand that rocks the cradle perspective and an historical disenfranchisement and path toward reenfranchisement perspective. Those are avenues that haven’t been laid as far as I’ve seen. I think there’s a ready and starved audience for it too.
