7 ways in which misogynists contradict themselves.
Misogyny is still ever present in modern society and is frighteningly more radical than ever before with the rise of openly and unapologetically misogynistic viral influencers such as Andrew Tate. Medium especially seems to be a cesspit of bitter misogynists and incels that blame all of their problems on modern women. Women who are independent, successful and don’t wish to abide by oppressive patriarchal traditions are seen as a threat to these men.
These men claim that they want chaste and traditional women who will take care of them. The truth is that subconsciously they despise these so called “ideal” women too. Misogynists blame all of their problems on women in general whether they’re modern or traditional (though their anger is mainly directed at modern independent women), from lack of dating success to feeling emasculated. It’s all us women’s fault. Until misogynists deal with their deep rooted hatred for women, they will never deal with the issues that they blame women for. Here are the ways in which misogynists contradict themselves.
1. They despise independent women that earn their own money but accuse women of being gold-diggers.
Ok so you don’t like women who have careers and are successful because they emasculate you and make you feel like “less of a man”, but you rage about the women who expect you to pick up the tab for each date and expect you to pay for everything.
Since misogynists see traditional women as ideal, “traditional women” don’t have their own income or money. Independent women who have their own money don’t expect men to foot the bill every time and can pay for their own stuff. Women who have a traditional mindset expect men to pay for everything and constantly bestow gifts upon them.
Misogynists vent about being fed up of having to pay for women and moan that women only use them for their money. Misogynists you want tradition, yet you can’t deal with the less ideal aspects of it. You don’t want your woman to work but you become overwhelmed by the financial pressure to support her and your offspring. You come home from work and take your stress out on your woman. You hate it that she puts pressure on you to provide.
