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

The rest of us. .... Not so much.
Like... have they seen this administration? these douchebros are too emotional, too.
It helps that as a society a large chunk have stopped seeing anger and its derivatives as “emotions”
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.
I assume that many of them think they're "not like other girls" and thus an exception.
Yeah internalized racism research has found that's pretty much how it works.
People will accept bigotry against their own group and even promote it , a lot, but they distance themselves by assuring themselves that they aren't like "those ones".
They are better. They follow the right rules.
The specific phenomena is called cognitive dissonance and the distortion that comes along with two competing beliefs.
They're not like other girls. They're "pickme" girls who think being on the inside makes them special by proxy. Like Serena and all the wives in Handmaid's Tale, they think being part of the in group mea they're part of the superior class. And maybe they are, until they step one toe out of line from their designated lane.
Progressive women when they find out conservative women are genuinely patriarchal and uninterested in feminism
Well. It's tricky. They sure do like the benefits of feminism. But they deny it.
Everyone benefits from feminism ✊
Even the humble rock warbler?
Especially the humble rock warbler!
I can’t tell if this a reference, and Google AI can’t either, so either it’s an original thought (gasp) or it’s so obscure it slipped under the radar
I wonder if there’s going to be a black market of unexploited deep memes not yet ingested
Conservatives only believe what they experience personally so they don't know what feminism has provided for them. They need the privilege taken away to appreciate what feminism does for them.
I would agree with you, except I lived in Texas for a decade, and I saw women vote against themselves multiple times.
I saw Greg Abbott put forward one of the legislative pieces that was the basis for RvW being repealed (the 6 week "heartbeat" bill).
Then I saw the 5th circuit support it.
Then I saw Greg Abbott/Dan Patrick/Ken Paxton/John Cornyn/Ted Cruz get voted in again afterwards. And none of those elections can be blamed on gerrymandering, because they were all popular vote elections.
So yeah, I just think conservative women are true believers who are willing to show up to the polls. Even if it means giving up their own rights.
Because I do not believe that all of those conservative women are rich. They're fucking brainwashed. And they'll continue to be brainwashed because they're too proud to admiy anything else. Even if they're poor af.
Anti-feminist propaganda is a real thing. As a guy I like to think I’m fairly progressive but believed a lot of the hate against feminism even as an adult. The women I knew were “the good ones”.
The thing is it was based on caricatures of feminism, outliers and extremists, and the claim that feminism is no longer necessary. I’m sure those extremists exists and we are closer to gender equality than historically but feminism has helped us all and we do need more of it.
We had children before there was any paternity leave in the US. I must have been complaining that I wished I could spend more time with my newborn, but it was the feminist group at work who went to demand there be paternity leave, because equal is equal and paternity leave helps everyone
The word has been branded "dirty". I met a guy who said he supported equality between genders but wasn't a feminist. I'm like, my dude, that's literally the definition of feminism. It's just wanting equality.
He argued and argued that he wasn't a "feminist".
While still claiming he supported every ideal of feminism.
He insisted feminist were "blue hair girls with nose rings who told everyone they were bigoted and ruined video games".
I blame the bro culture. And specifically Asmongld. That tool.
Invents imaginary women stereotype, and then blames the imaginary women for all his problems and why he has to be misogynist. They drove him to it. These imaginary women are the cause.
It all just gets old real fast.
The problem is they were too successful at it and all too many have that as their definition of feminism. That’s all they know.
I do think a different term might be called for, because that one is lost to many

I think it’s because they’re stupid like the “conservative” men they worship
Nothing like a women leader who denounces feminism when they would not be a leader without it.
Yet these “conservative” women enjoy and utilize all the benefits and rights feminism brought them so they’re in fact feminists. Why aren’t they home making sandwiches for their horde of children? Shouldn’t they be seen and not heard? Make it make sense. Definitely some cognitive dissonance going on here.
Especially the career ones , constantly making videos or on talk shows.
Literally goes against conservative views of women. They are supposed to be seen not heard. Their opinions don't matter. They need to step aside for men to lead. They need to prioritize baby making , child raising, cleaning, cooking, and spreading dem legs to their owner.

It’s sad that this is still genuinely surprising to some people in 2025
I saw a conservative women on a dating app put in her bio that she wonders why their aren’t any good conservative men…
Recently found out that there's a $500 college scholarship given to young conservative men that can prove that they respect conservative women or something like that. Fucking hilarious that even conservative women don't expect respect from what they see as their own in-group. Also pretty sad, but it was created by a book club founded solely because the other one was "too liberal", so I can't feel all that bad for them.
There's no shock, just denial or refusal to accept that they're treated like property. Or, self-hatred to the extent that they do see what's happening but support it anyway.
It's like a perfect storm of stupid, evil, Stockholm syndrome, and stuck in an abusive relationship.
Their definition of misogyny differs just a bit.
It means not seeing women as equals.
Believing they are lower class. Lower intellect. Lower ability to make decisions, etc.
Pretty similar to racism with its own unique stereotypes.
I mean. All bigotry cones down to the same thing. Believing some group is less deserving of the rights and privileges you have, because you believe they are lesser than your group.
Were you under the impression we were disagreeing? Or have you not met such Christian women?
Just clarifying. Wasn't assuming you were disagreeing.
Their was a quote from the very end of the John Krakaur book on mormonism, it went something like "The mormons have no idea what horrors the church does, but maby that is just the price to be happy". I think it is the same with republicans, they pay the price of ignorance in order to accept the world around them.
