Chevy Chase, MD – Misogyny effects women in both blatant and subtle ways. It is inherent in our society today because of the male dominated structure that continues to persist in our culture.

Many men don't consider themselves to be misogynists. There stil is no escaping that we live in a patriarchal society. The fight for equality must continue until women are truly equal participants in today's world.

That’s the philosophy of psychologist Dr. Karyne Messina, author of Misogyny, Projective Identification, and Mentalization: Psychoanalytic, Social, and Institutional Manifestations.

“I've devoted my life to fighting for women's rights,” says Dr. Messina. “On one hand, things seemed to have been going along pretty well—we were making a lot of strides and I had been very optimistic, but then there was the 2016 Presidential election, a day filled with a lot of tears. Since that day, it appears as though we have been forced to take several steps backwards in terms of equality.”

Misogyny, Projective Identification, and Mentalization tells the story of women who have been dismissed, and why this phenomenon occurs, and what can be done to change this dynamic.
