Everything occurs in every society. Murder, rape, corruption, child abuse. But they occur to varying degrees. Very little in this world is binary, and the only way to compare cultures or countries with one another is empiricism and statistics. If you care about misogyny, it matters that come cultures are more misogynistic than others, and some are less. It matters because we can use the better cultures as examples of how to improve.
