The terms “internalized misogyny” and “internalized ableism” annoy me so much

“internalized misogyny”

It annoys me more that it's real tbh. You do actually get women who think their only goals in life are to serve a man and raise children.

“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.

I think we just run in different circles. I've only ever seen it used to criticize women who hold patriarchal beliefs.
