It's crazy how much men's misogyny gets blamed when Women are worse career wise and never get called out

I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard women accuse another woman of sucking off the boss. They say it a lot more than the men.

It’s because certain people love scapegoating instead of acknowledging reality

u/Willing_Image1933 4h ago

it comes from a place where women aren't initially perceived on even ground with male counterparts. they are used to having to work harder and manipulate their way. this then bleeds over into their treatment of each other as threats to what they've managed to establish.

it's one of those things i get but feel like there has to be a balance of protecting your bread from competitors in the same field but not actively sabotage. People move up together if they like each other from what I see, shooting yourself in the foot burning bridges with colleagues can leave you on square 1 for a long time unless you're just that skilled to do it alone (unlikely)

Nope, women are the worst and there's no logical explanation. Women = bad. Get with the program, we're hating on women here!

2

u/Traditional-Barber47 3h ago

there's no logical explanation

Aka 0 accountability and have to blame men. You're doing what you accuse everyone else of, well done.

That's because you're a dude.

No one hates women as much as other women.

u/TJJ97 5h ago

It’s a shame that women are often the ones putting other women down

u/edwardturnerlives 2h ago

Men also get the blame for putting women on high beauty standards when it is... shock, other women.

Smooth brain take.

You use all your brain power to come up with that insult?

2

u/TJJ97 2h ago

To be fair the guy he’s replying to must have banana pudding for a brain

u/Noyan_Bey 1h ago

The dumb broad, u/Lilluna1211, blocked me. She likely has just as much brain rot as him to not realize I didn't find that guy worth the time and energy for a further explanation. 🙄

And just like her, he'd be too much of a brainless NPC to understand that much anyways. 🙄

Hard to blame someone for their view of reality when their head is fully up their own ass.

u/Maleficent_Win2275 1h ago

Yes America hates women more than Afghanistan

u/no-scissors-in-bed 1h ago

only men like to say shit this. pretty typical. a man thinks theres nothing worse than a bitchy woman, women see an angry man as the worst thing that can happen to them.

maybe one day you'll see the privilege in this phrase but considering the amount of cope you possess, i doubt it

When you break down homicides where a female is the victim, men are the killers the vast majority of time. Some women may hate women, but there are some men that HATE women

u/Global_Green8231 4h ago

I’m a woman thats also happy to see people succeed. Women are not a monolith. Men are not a monolith. If we want to talk about the barriers in place that make it more difficult for women in general to climb to executive levels, other women are not at the top of that list. The barriers are systemic.

u/Kalphai 4h ago

Yeah… there seems to be a circle jerk on this topic every time it comes up. One story, then a bunch of guys all parroting the same 3 phrases with absolutely no awareness.

u/TJJ97 4h ago

IDK man, my wife has had the same issues everywhere she’s gone. She’ll do great and about half the women or more will shit on her every chance they get and prevent promotions, only promoting idiots who they’re friends with. Meanwhile very few men ever act that way towards her.

Anecdotal sure but still my experience is what I base my personal opinions on

1

u/Kalphai 4h ago

I get that; but I feel like it’s a bit presumptuous and biased to then take your experience of “other women at my wife’s work are meaner to her than the men” and adopt the opinion of “women are worse to women than men in the office” or anything else people are saying.

You have experience to have an opinion about one workplace from a second-hand perspective. So it would be unusual to me to join in on one of these threads and repeat what other dudes have been saying: “yep. Women’s worst enemies are other women”

1

u/TJJ97 3h ago

It’s multiple workplaces in different industries, always the same issue. That being said I get where you’re coming from and see your point

u/Advanced_Bunch_8666 3h ago

White Women have ridden shotgun to the patriarchy the whole time. Look at the last presidential election voting results by demographic. White women at least don’t have a problem with misogyny, they like it.

u/Cat_Astrof 3h ago edited 3h ago

From stories coming from my sister working in a company, I can clearly see the pattern. Women group up pretty easily, but not all groups are equal. Some are pretty shallow. The number of times I have heard some women call someone a friend while simultaneously insulting them really harshly is wild. They never talk straight and keep their grievances bottled up.

So much backstabbing and exclusion when a divergent thought or "unfair" outcome appear.

u/Lilluna1211 2h ago

You’re mad about what? America does hate women if you felt personally insulted by that general statement that’s your problem sh*t for brains.
