Internalised Misogyny - Tumblr Posts
Reading Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 and I finally understand why it stirred so much controversy. If we all start talking about all the subtle ways misogyny has been rooted in our behaviours and thinkings; (we'll loose our sanity if we do that really) it's definitely gonna make people mad because in a world where people seem to ignore and stay silent on the obvious "bigger" acts of misogyny and sexism, they definitely aren't ready to have talks about the internalised and normalised misogyny. Heck they don't even think it exists.
I don't know why this has to be spelled out, but if you are arguing that there are biases against women in society (true) because of the patriarchy, and how these biases are unconscious and therefore present even in the most progressive spaces...
You cannot simultaneously argue that unconscious transphobic biases are not present, and people don't unconsciously treat trans men closer to women then they do men.
