In a full-page ad taken out in major US newspapers on Monday, tech manufacturer Samsung has offered an apology for the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, which was fitted with a faulty battery, leading to an unprecedented number of the devices exploding. In September of this year, Samsung issued a full recall; now it's promising to fully investigate the phone, Korea Herald reports.
"An important tenet of our mission is to offer best-in-class safety and quality. Recently, we fell short on this promise. For this we are truly sorry," the ad reads."A careful Note 7 investigation is underway and the findings will be shared when the process is complete...We will re-examine every aspect of the device, including all hardware, software, manufacturing and the overall battery structure. We will move as quickly as possible, but will take the time needed to get the right answers."
Is it too late? The devices have been exploding for months.

Not defending GP, but I assume he's trying to make a distinction between misogyny as active "hatred of women" (e.g., somebody who simply enjoys beating women up because of a psychological problem or whatever) vs. misogyny as various acts that may not be viewed as hateful or with intent to harm by one party, but which many women now define as "misogynistic," regardless of whether actually driven by hate.
I don't know that this distinction makes much difference, since acting in a way that is perceived as hateful is still problematic (to me), but I'm guessing that's what this is about.

Thank you for the explanation, the distinction was truly lost on me.
In that regard, there is a lot of anger towards Hillary Clinton that I would not describe as misogynistic. There were quite legitimate reasons to not like here.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

The difference is that of intent and (mis)appropriation of malice. I hate my employer for not giving me enough money does not equate my employer not giving me money because it hates me.
It is not that hard to understand but I suppose people have a blind spot when the word 'woman' is put a sentence. Another factor at play is misandry which stops people (men and women) from questioning the validity of a woman's action. A woman hits a man and suddenly people just know that the man must have done something wrong to deserve it.
Misogyny used to mean a time when domestic violence was considered the right way to "fix" women. Now it is just, 'oooog hillary didn't get vote because misogyny', 'oooh people laugh on mean jokes misogynyyyy'.
