What’s misogynistic about the paraphrased 4chan comment? That just seems like your stereotypical suburban woman.

- giraffe_lady 2y agoYeah man gendered stereotypes about women are usually pretty misogynist. But I wasn't even talking about that. I meant the assumption that women are more susceptible to social pressure than men are. And especially that, once assuming they are, that failure to surrender to that pressure is on a continuum with mental illness. Either of these alone is a nasty thing to think about half of people. Combined it positions women as either powerlessly accepting the role prepared for them, or condemns them for "incorrectly" deviating from it. It leaves no room for the agency of women, or respect for their own decisions about their lives. Again, just a very 4chan misogynist view of gender roles.
