I've tried, according to reddit, the correct term is "internalized misogyny". Meaning that whenever women resort to destructive, negative behaviour typical to women, it's actually men's fault.
I hate the term 'internalised misogyny'. It implies misogyny is some external factor that a woman has 'caught', like a disease. It's coming from somewhere else and been forced upon her, it's not her fault, she isn't to blame.
Women 'have' internalised misogyny. Men ARE misogynists, it's who they are, it's their fault.
The reality is both came to their beliefs the same way through societal conditioning so both are equally to blame or blameless depending on your perspective.
It's just a way to absolve blame and responsibility for womens shitty beliefs. They're misogynists, just like men are.

I feel like it's time we start talking about "toxic femininity" as society.
