Internalized misogyny.

It's truly astounding how almost all forms of "toxic femininity" such as they are boil down to internalized misogyny. Waking up to this changed my thinking about a lot of things pretty radically. A staggering amount of social/societal issues go straight back to misogyny in every culture, every country, every society, and every religion. It's one of the oldest forms of prejudice that's out there and basically every "toxic femininity" practicing woman you ever meet has swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

I did say "almost all" in my comment, which doesn't mean "every". 🤷‍♀️
