Misogyny in the Gay Male Community


Misogyny is defined as a hatred of women.
Thursday a student, faculty and community representative presented a panel discussion about the impact of heteronormative gender expectations and dismantled myths surrounding identity, oppression and misogyny.
Topics covered:
- history of misogyny in the gay male community
- racialization of misogyny
- misogyny at DePaul
- misogyny and bisexuality
- misogyny and drag

On the panel was one of the SHA Peer Educators and a third year WGS student, Zach Stafford,
Cyndi Torres graduate student in the School of Education and
Dr. Beth Kelly WGS professor
Thank you to everyone who came out for the event! It was very successful and we had a very important discussion to further educate the DePaul community
