I hear you but what cranked it up to 1000?

Like I always saw my mom as a extremely competent person, as a child she was flawless. Nowadays, I see her flaws but I am flawed, so if my father and any person I ever met. I am impressed by my sister and how I can be like the person that she is in many ways.

I am talking about my direct family because these women had a lot of influence on me. So I wonder, what was their experience like to think so poorly of women? Not blaming the women in their social circle for being "bad", I just wonder wtf happened. Where does that belief come from? I don't think they all had great experiences with their male role models but horrible ones with their female role models. So what is it?

I unfortunately am not versed enough in the topic to give a full answer on this, I'd guess upbringing, then personal experiences?

I suppose it's similar to people who are arseholes in general.

Sorry for the very underwhelming answer haha

I didn't expect an answer. I am sorry if I made you feel that way. I just wanted to explore the topic with the general topic.

Your answer is a good as mine. I just don't think people have good reason to be so judgemental to any group as vague as "woman".

It is an odd thing anyway.
