I said he's misogynistic because he did not only called the women in Todoroki Family useless, but also shown clear distaste when Toga was going to join as well. He obviously did not think Toga is suitable for a villain. Correct me if I'm wrong but he said, "What's a little girl like her is going to do? Is this a club where any villain can join now?" I don't remember because I don't have the time to read back into the chapters for you, sorry.
But yeah, if Dabi was to be a man in our universe, he's definitely gonna be a misogynistic man. He had shown clear distaste to women as well too. Idk, just a little theory of mine.

Is this a response to the question of what was his mother defending him from? If so, she did try and defend Touya by telling Enji that Touya just wants him to notice him but Enji didn't really listen and the mother tried to talk to Touya expressing that he looked like he was suffocating because of his father and that he could choose other paths in life. He responded to this with amazing contempt and disrespect for his mother.

Why are people so quick to label someone a misogynist? Yes, he called the women in his family useless, but he never really exhibited any kind of misogynistic behaviour, and in the end him calling her and his sister useless just shows how bitter and troubled he was. Maybe he hated her because of Shoto, since his overwhelming jealousy was also a major force that drove him. Honestly, I understand his resentment. She’s as guilty as Endeavour in my eyes. Dabi was unstable, and they played a big part in it manifesting itself like this.
Not to be rude or anything but I'm currently in the same room as my sister rn. She's a Dabi Stan and anti-Enji too. I'm the opposite. I've hated that crusty man since the beginning of the show/series and ofc at start, hated Endeavor too. However, I'm still kind of rooting for some of his back story. Which is cleared in the recent 5 chapters.
Note: I am a survivor of an abusive and toxic household. I recently escaped from the house 3 years ago and I'm living in a condominium rented by myself. The reason why I'm quick to understand and forgive Enji is because he had done what my father nor my mother would ever do. He actually apologised to Shoto, and did not expect any forgive in return. While my dad blamed me for my wounds which he caused.
Now, my sister is quiet and honestly I really wanna say, "It's quiet ain't no back talk," to her cause its so funny lmao looking at her quilty ass face reading the chapters. She look pass the 'pretty privilege' (which DABI DONT DESERVE CAUSE MANZ STILL NEED STAPLES FOR SKIN) and acknowledged that Dabi will and never be Todoroki. Nor does Touya deserved to be in the household.
Many may be angry with me, because (of course) Touya/Dabi will forever be considered a victim. But looking at how he doesn't listen to the advice given more than five times, I think he did this to himself. Idk man, yall can hate me all you want, but this is my opinion and I have to say it out loud.
Dabi is a mysogynistic man, a toxic person who will never love anyone like you all romantize him to be, nor will he ever turn from a villain to hero for your own heroism ego. He is not the 'Sacrifice-the-world-for-you' type of villain, but the 'Sacrifice-the-world-including-you-for-my-own-selfish-need' kind of villain.
Be mad, but admit it. He is NOT someone to be romantized.
Anyways, yall, Deku is boutta be the endgame and with me finished Banana Fish (for the 6th times), Avenger: Endgame, Wandavision, the Grave of Fireflies, Silent Voice, and AOT manga having a few chapters left (including some deaths of unexpected characters), I'm definitely not going to hold out for long.
Happy days everyone. I'm
