brightlizard-91 OP

Definitely women who act pro women and hate men. Let them talk about how much they hate men and it turns into them bashing, infantilizing, or invalidating women who step out of line with being their perfect victim. "No one hates women more than other women" sounds more and more true as the years go by.

Internalized misogyny is pretty toxic. But not as toxic as femicide... So I can't agree with the quote

As a woman, I agree. I feel that women are more dramatic about anything and everything due to one thing and one thing only: stereotypes. Men think theyre supposed to hide their feelings and emotions, so they shelter themselves. Women, on the otherhand, dont have that associated with them, so if they see that being dramatic is the standard, itd be easy to match it.

Lol idk, a lot of men are dramatic too. Constantly calling everything gay

wittycandle-34

Road rage

wittycandle-34

Bar fights

@wittycandle-34 Lol idk, a lot of men are dramatic too. Constantly calling everything gay

Fr. A lot of the time, its to hide their own "closetedness", or insecurity about their own feelings toward other men.

wittycandle-34

THEIR JEALOUSY, LOL

@wittycandle-34 Road rage

Road rage and bar fights are acceptable to men because looking masculine is the reward for winning. If looking more manly is on the table, it causes outrages.

Yep yep, that's toxic masculinity. Feminism is also against that

wittycandle-34

Agresso is very masculine supposedly

@wittycandle-34 Yep yep, that's toxic masculinity. Feminism is also against that
applexenon-31

I dont call myself a feminist, but I do stand against toxic masculinity. I see both sides of each gender, and see whats wrong to the other and vice versa.

wittycandle-34

I'm very much a feminist. I do wish internalized misogyny was less of a problem. It's just more disappointing to see it in my own group

applexenon-31

Yeah, I can see that. It makes sense, I just dont want to be biased to any one side.

wittycandle-34

I understand your concern but feminism addresses all of them

wittycandle-34

People, though, can be questionable. My sister tried to say she was a feminist

applexenon-31

Im not concerned or anything, I just dont want to support men over women or vice versa as to avoid any involuntary controversy.

wittycandle-34

Racism ≠ feminism

@applexenon-31 Im not concerned or anything, I just dont want to support men over women or vice versa as to avoid…
wittycandle-34

applexenon-31
