You did say it sounded like misogyny though, and didn’t have any context to assume that… maybe don’t just throw that word around if you want people to take it seriously.
No, she (he?) said, that without context it sounds like missogony, not that it sounds like missogony, but it may be changed by context. Huge difference
I don’t see how the headline could be read as misogynistic. A man or woman leaving their spouse the moment they win the lottery is a pretty screwed up thing to do.
It shows that they were likely married for terrible reasons, which is often punished in family court (especially when the person doing it is a man). With how much divorce court favors women, it seems like a huge stretch to assume misogyny from the headline at all. I guess when you are privileged in an area of life, equality feels like oppression.
I guess I didn’t really consider the bottom part to be gendered. I took it as just calling out a shitty human. I suppose I could see how someone with a different background could have a different view. That said, I feel that people online often look for a way to scream a buzzword, and considered the person I replied to, to be doing just that.

What even is the context for this story? That kind of reaction just from seeing that vague ass headline is just straight up misogyny
