That takes so much effort.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true and underestimates the existing brainworm populations in men.

Imagine being around a bunch of people discussing NFTs, but no one is acknowledging that NFTs are a bunch of property-brained bologne and just continues on as if they’re real. And these people are, ironically or not, justifying their value assessments of others based on their “portfolio”. For people not into astrology, being forced to risk alienation from the group by expressing disapproval at the premise underlying discussion, this often creates feelings of frustration…which is primer for creating fanatical hatred.

Discussions of astrology often create the same frustrations in me, and I have a relative discontent for the topic at large.

Misogyny is just the brain path of least resistance for many of these people. Backlash to anything perceived to be more enjoyed by women than men will inevitably take on a current of misogyny.

Most dogs don’t understand dogwhistles to be a conditioning tool and “things women enjoy” becomes the whistle, raging at women is the “treat”. Men very much have to stay on the look out for " is this intended to create feelings of resentment towards women?" because the dogwhistles are harder to detect when detecting them involves no longer being able to use it as a crutch for your bruised ego.
