As I mentioned upthread, Facebook itself had no interest in curbing the misogyny on this family-friendly page about kids' toys, but the moderator took my feedback very seriously.

I PM'ed the mod(s) yesterday to bring the offending posts to their attention, and I received a response today thanking me for my concern and to inform me that they've already hidden those replies and blocked the users from the group.

Glad to see that they were so receptive and quick to act.

And thanks for letting me vent!
