I used to be a raging misogynist for years. I hated myself for being a woman.
It was an attempt to be seen as more masculine. Over the years, I realized that this wouldn’t turn me into a man, or help men understand women better, or make women feel any better.
In fact, I came to understand that men will never truly accept me as one of them, no matter how I look or act. Realizing this opened my eyes, and I started noticing just how much some men hate women. That realization made me a little misandristic for a while. But I still think there are women who frustrate me too. Those who put other women down and undermine what we've fought for. Just look at Sabrina Carpenter’s new album. So, you can't really blame everything on men, but there are things I’ve seen, read, and heard, that just can't get out of my head.
That’s why I stopped being misogynistic toward other women. I’m still working through my internalized misogyny. I don’t think these women even realize how much being a woman is demonized. And they’re just making it worse.
Women will always be hated, no matter what they do. It’s hard living in a society that demonizes you for being a woman, especially when you hate being one yourself.
