Claiming misogyny at every turn shuts down discourse and actually hurts progress as people will just avoid all discussion even when it is legitimately misogyny.

Avoiding discussion just because misogyny is mentioned when misogyny is, in fact, at every turn is what actually hurts progress, as is avoiding mentioning misogyny because of people doing that. (But, of course, that's the motivation for the avoidance in the first place.)

Its human nature, people will avoid it by not engaging if it just gets thrown around and used to berate without cause.

> when misogyny is, in fact, at every turn

Yes, it pervasive but not at every turn. Case in point, this thread.

> as is avoiding mentioning misogyny because of people doing that.

No one is saying to avoid it. Just saying that it is not helping when you indiscriminately label everything as misogyny.
