They are pretty anti man too. They see trans women as men and accuse them of being rapists, they want men to follow a very narrow life path and seem to think other men getting killed makes them more manly

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Like... have they seen this administration? these douchebros are too emotional, too.

Ken Griffith provably lied to congress. No cell no sell.

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 saw a conservative women on a dating app put in her bio that she wonders why their aren’t any good conservative men…

I assume that many of them think they're "not like other girls" and thus an exception.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

Definitely more common than a lot of people realize

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Well. It's tricky. They sure do like the benefits of feminism. But they deny it.

[–] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Everyone benefits from feminism ✊

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Even 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.

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

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.

Nothing like a women leader who denounces feminism when they would not be a leader without it.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I think it’s because they’re stupid like the “conservative” men they worship

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.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bold assumption that they will figure it out.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

A few seem to have. MTG for one.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

It’s sad that this is still genuinely surprising to some people in 2025
