    To be fair, I’ve bet a bunch of misogynistic republican women too. I’ve had family claim women are too emotional to be in government

      You sure can be a bigot against your own group. There are definitely plenty of misogynist women out there.

      It’s rather sad to see. Especially in an older woman. Because I get being raised in a society that devalues women, and starting to believe it. I think a lot of women have to acknowledge this at some point, and fight against it. Even a lot of men I know, who ive had conversations with, admitted to haveing mysoginist views when younger and had to address them.

      It’s not surprising that women, too, would be affected by beliefs promoted through media and social interactions.

      When I was a young woman, I often found myself blaming other women for misogyny in men. Kinda fucked up looking back on it. But I did.

      But as I got older, even by age ~20, I realized it’s all b.s. and I was being tricked into victim blaming.

      But to be a woman of 30 or older, you should have enough life experience at that point that you know it’s all b.s. Any woman of that age has no excuse to perpetuate oppression of their own group.
