My uncle is very right-wing, racist, and a bit transphobic, as he thinks I’ll always be a girl. Here’s the thing: he apparently beat his ex-wife, causing her to leave his house and eventually divorce him. Since then, for about 13 years, he complains about not having her as a wife despite already having a new wife, can’t move on, and BLAMES HIS EX-WIFE for not wanting him anymore and thinks women are inherently evil.

He also thinks women are meant to “obey” him and kinda uses his current wife for her money. And beat her too…

    Hoooo boy. I don’t know what to start explaining to you if you don’t know that women can both internalise and engage in misogyny. Even more shocking, they can even victimize other women with misogyny. Crazy stuff out there, look up terfs when you have time; they’re not hard to find.

    This all reads like a person who is deeply uncomfortable accepting that people they empathize with are also harmful. No, you do not need omniscience to correctly deduce that a person who willfully identifies with an infamously and obnoxiously misogynistic group does not see misogyny as a deal breaker. Y’know what we call people who don’t view misogyny as a deal breaker?

    Misogynists.

      Ok you seem to be currently incapable of understanding what I’m actually saying.

      Of course women can be misogynists.

      You are lumping it all together as one category when it’s plainly not one category. That is as simple as I can make it for you. You can have as many internet points as you like trying to sound as intelligent as possible and skirting around my point while putting words in my mouth.

      I wish you much happiness.

      Goodbye

        Hope you learn to accept that naunce and challenge your internalized misogyny; for the sake of others around you.
