Misogynist ... what Misogynist ?

There is a Demos social media study which has mapped thousands of aggressive / abusive tweets being sent from UK Twitter accounts — by both men and women.

This circulating study claims that females are responsible for originating half of the sexist tweets in Great Britain ...

Now then, seeing how I don't tweet, in a sexist manner or otherwise I find that a rather compelling notion given the sensitivity many females have in general for sexist ideas made public in mixed company.

It's appearing almost downright hypocritical given those various notions of civility I've had to suffer over the years.

Misogynist commentary not withstanding, I was always lead to believe that it was a phenomenon primarily of the male persuasion and for which I was being lambasted by various female others for my perceived sense of humor all the while I was part and parcel of a demographic which encompassed a lot more in the way of vagina than I have (or even get).
"Hey baby, how a bout a blow job. I know you've got one with you !"
Be all of this as it may I find the statistic mostly amusing and could really care less regardless of whether any other is criticizing or merely observing.

If it's one thing my ever advancing age has taught me:
It's far better to remain silent and be THOUGHT a fool,
than to speak and remove all doubt.
Let it be said that the kinder, gentler Dave born some time in the near past is less likely to get pegged for any mysogynistic commentary ...

but remains a personnel incident waiting to happen for other various attitudes like hitting up on the female coworkers ... who I might add have grown much more tolerant over the years.

It's also a practical fact that the kinder, gentler iteration of Dave presently in effect is kind to and protective of children and quite acceptable in polite company as a rule.

This wasn't always the case either.
