Why Do So Many Women Believe The Lies?

To be honest, I'm trying to actively combat my increasingly sexist world views, but I'm struggling to deal with the fact that anything which goes against the "sisterhood" is met with absolute scorn and derision, regardless of its actual merits, or lack thereof.

It's because women still think that they are the default, when in reality they are the exception to the default & because they can't see beyond their status as the exception, they assume they are being treated negatively when the default is applied to them equally.

For example, there was a study in which women were treated in specific ways in a work based environment by men & then had to judge how sexist they thought those men were being towards them.

What they didn't know is that some of the men had been instructed to treat the women exactly how they would treat a man in the same position.

Those women overwhelmingly marked those men who treated them as equals as being sexist, where as the men who gave them special privileges & worked around the women, were marked as being NOT sexist.

Because women for the most part still falsely think that their experience is the default, when in reality it's the exception to the default. This is why when women get disagreed with online they jump to claims of oppression & harassment, because most of them have lived a life of men agreeing with them because vagina.

The second that doesn't happen, the second the men stop cow towing to it they don't know what to do about it, because they can't see past the false notion that they are the default.position.
