Take misogyny, for example. Manifesting itself in hatred towards or prejudice against females, it encourages people to make mean comments or behave themselves in a way that can only be called unsympathetic at best. Despite that, sometimes it’s women themselves who engage in misogynistic behavior.
Females of Reddit recently discussed the topic when one user asked them what was their most frequent form of internalized misogyny—a thought or behavior that they know is misogynistic and hurts to think or feel, but they can’t seem to shake off. Netizens were honest with their answers and covered all sorts of examples, some of which fellow redditors seemed to relate to, so scroll down to find them on the list below and read more about how internalized misogyny can affect women.
