we are so fucked guys its over
like this is insane like. of course women can be misogynistic, anyone can, thats absolutely true, but it really feels like people think all misogyny is is saying mean things and thinking misogynistic things instead of like femicide and marital rape and sexual harrassment at work and the fucking pay gap and the devaluation of domestic work and child rearing and medical neglect and abuse and forced births and forced sterilization and misogynistic and transmisogynistic hate crimes and domestic abuse and. idk. the systemic and violent oppression of all women? by the patriarchy?
I partially blame the media. When misogyny is talked about online, people are generally talking about podcast bros and women like Just Pearly Things, or are complaining about someone not being a 'girls' girl'.
People generally aren't talking about femicide, or female genital mutilation, or how in several states in the US child marriage is still legal (and the children are mostly young girls being married to adult men, not two teenagers getting married), or that incarcerated women often don't have access to basic sanitary needs, or how women have been killed simply for rejecting someone, or how one of the leading causes of death in the US for pregnant women is murder
But sure, let's pretend that the big problem is women being mean to each other.
