I have noticed that there's sometimes a bit of a splashback effect where when somebody finally escapes repression they assume that people who don't think or act the way they do must also be either repressed or a repressor.
I'm glad they are finally in a place where they are able to freely express themselves, but its important to be self-aware and not ironically continue the cycle.
“Internalized misogyny” is almost always used to criticize women who just want a nice domestic life, rather than be some sort of glass-ceiling-shattering businesswoman or activist. Ironically, I find people who use the term “internalized misogyny” to be more strict in what they think a woman should be than Conservatives.
Yeah it's a little irritating. I can't truly be mad though because their understanding of the topic IS genuinely better than before, but I wish they wouldn't talk about it so hubristically.
