Imagine then laying hope on reason and rationality, and going to crude atheist meetings and see people totally disinterested in any change. Get that? Fuck off jackass!
As a reminder and quick reference:

It may not be a religion, but most atheists behave exactly like members of organized religion. Sorry if this has been brought up before. It's a worrying trend. A lot of late teen, early 20 atheists I've met won't think twice before using 'cunt' or 'faggot', or other such forms merciless insulting.
If your understanding of the source of misogyny was as complete as you claim, then why did you ask "Or what else explains this?" in your opening post? Your admirable crusade against misogyny is noble; however, your tactics are quixotic at best.
You should probably stay away from anti-misogyny recruitment drives if your method consists of finding a group of people you think should/would support your cause and proceed to immediately implicate them in misogynistic complicity based on their one shared characteristic. This is more confounding if I'm generous enough to believe you know the source of misogyny; evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
If your aim is to truly call attention to, raise awareness of, and participate in the creation of solutions to misogyny, why did you choose to rail against anonymous online opinions and conference bad behavior rather than soliciting ideas about the well documented severe manifestations found in India and elsewhere? A little off the mark in my opinion. It's hard for me to understand your purpose with all of this knowing the state of affairs where you are.
It's as if you are attempting to extract a speck of fly shit from a boxcar of ground pepper while the train is coming off the tracks.
