In psychoanalysis, misogyny hides in plain sight, seemingly above and beyond the usual conventions of workplace etiquette or even a vague awareness of sexism. It is commonplace in psychoanalytic literature and in the presentation of case studies for a description of the female client's attractiveness to be given as a diagnosis rather than an opinion, for the word 'feminine' to be used as a synonym for submission, for psychosexual development to still miss the glaringly important stage of menstruation, for women to still be described in terms of losing a penis but gaining a baby - not a vagina or clitoris - and for the fundamental experiences of pregnancy and birth to be overlooked. Ironically for a field that's main currency is reflection, the different treatment of women is bypassed as misogyny is institutionalised in psychoanalysis.
