Why is internalized misogyny more common than internalized misandry?

[Anonymous]

There seen to be way more women who say that "I'm so ashamed of my gender, we have feminists, domestic abusers and child-murderers!" than men who say that "I'm so ashamed of my gender, we have rapists, murderers, criminals and we start wars!"
How many times do you hear men saying "I have mainly female friends because guys are jerks"? Nearly never. But saying "I have mainly guy friends because most women are b! tches" is very common among women. Also the fact that women often compete with each other, say that girls suck, while men have the whole "bro code" thing and they just don't compete as much

I don’t think it’s less common, I think it’s just less spoken about.

One reason being the feminist movement. It brings about opportunity for something like that to be talked about.

I think men are already aware of the the negative behaviors of other men and don’t feel the need to talk about it, especially considering that we are constantly degraded for being men by the media.

I think you've been letting yourself get brainwashed if you legitimately believe this nonsense. Western women are the most free of anywhere in the world. In fact thanks to tokenism it's easy to climb in corporations where the same level of work from a man wouldn't garner any attention at all let alone easy promotions to meet board gender quotas.

I don't know what it has to do with the question. Besides, I have noticed that only a few women actually use the "privileges" they have and most of them are actually against the privileges. In a lot of cases this causes them to overappretiate men which later leads to internalized misogyny and "being ashamed of being a woman"

I don't think it's as pervasive as you think. When you are a hammer all you see is nails.

I think men are naturally more egotistical than women. The throwing each other under the bus thing that women do peaks in late adolescences and is due to positioning yourself in the best position to attract the alpha male. It’s all biological 🙄 we humans think we decide things but a lot of our inherent behaviours are just that.

[Chris4744]

Coming from someone with consistently egotistical (usually man hating) comments

[Asker]

@Chris4744 But somehow saying that "women are naturally competitive and manipulative" is okay

[Chris4744]

What? I didn’t say that

[Chris4744]

Both men and women are naturally competitive and manipulative though, so i would agree with that statement. Manipulation isn’t an inherently negative thing. It just has a negative connotation because of when the term it is typically used. Women are more naturally manipulative than men as well because they are typically physically weaker than men. Nothing wrong with it unless they abuse it.

Chris , o said women are naturally competitive and manipulative, I’m ok with human fault. Sorry your offended. Really odd you would think ima man hater😂😂. I’m actually one of the bitchy girls who get along better with men. I found this to be a really interesting question. Never meant to hurt any fragile egos :) xx

[Chris4744]

I didn’t say you’re a man hater. I said your comments tend to be man hating. They certainly seem that way. I’ve noticed them on many posts. They usually have little to nothing to do with the post either which is annoying.

[wittymilf]

Ok. Sorry I’ll try and be more mindful of things o might say moving forward? I did notice something odd about your other comment about my answer to waking up being touched as odd though. Yi was just answering the question as a whole. I read the u derneath comments as I’m aware that sometimes if you just read the top line you can answer or assume just what you said.

[Chris4744]

Yeah I didn’t read the last line of text on his post so i misunderstood, sorry bout that

[wittymilf]

Plus men
Being naturally egotistical is as biological as women throwing each other under the bus, it’s nature’s way of ensuring stronger offspring.

[Chris4744]

Being egotistical used to be a great way to get yourself killed actually. I know few egotistical men compared to those who are not. Those who are just tend to be attention seeking so maybe that’s why they are over represented.

[wittymilf]

Could be true! :) actually make sense because I order to secure a mate in caveman times you needed to bestandout. Now a days you just need tinder😂

[Chris4744]

Well i don’t think you’d need to be stand out. I think it matters more to stand out today than it did in those times. People were constantly around each other and involved in activities together. There were a very limited number of potential sexual partners, so you really didn’t need to stand out at all to get noticed. If anything, being arrogant/egotistical would just cause women to rule you out as a partner. Even the gullible ones who get fooled by it would likely be disuaded by others in the family/tribal unit of considering them as a sexual partner.

Overestimate yourself in certain situations and you lose your life. That was a real threat back then. You couldn’t just fake it till you make it like you can today.

I enjoy the study of anthropology and biological drivers for human behaviours.

[DogEatsCat1973]

I don't know of any men that supports male rapists in fact most of us would kill a male that is abusing a woman or child. As far as women not supporting women there are many cases where women that hate men are encouraged by other women to keep doing it.

[justawhiteman]

The reason is in your description. Women love competing with eachother and sometimes are fighting over a guy they are both interested in... whereas guys follow bro code protocol and say you could have this girl bro.

[Asker]

But my question was why it has to be like this. If men can support each other, then why can't women do the same thing?

[justawhiteman]

cause women act like this by nature and other women realize this and stay away from those kinds of women

[Asker]

But all women aren't the same and they shouldn't hate their own gender just because of a few worse examples.

[justawhiteman]

yeah of course

[justawhiteman]

i agrre

[justawhiteman]

agree*

[Cybernizer]

The bro code is an awesome thing and I live by it. Even us men hate women more than men if we had to choose. Women on average do tend to be harder to get along with.
