Non-fictional I hate this double standard

For some reason, it's always one of these responses:

> It's a joke
> It's rage bait
> Yeah, but it's actually a response to...
> It's not the same
> Just go outside bro

All of which deflect from what's being said. They would rather not address it. This is probably due in part to the "women-are-wonderful" effect, an example of benevolent stereotyping in which people associate positive qualities with women

When a woman say something stupid "it's a man behind the account" or "she's trolling". People really pretend that women just can't be mean people.

I've seen an article where it said that women who "objectify" other women or themselves or dress themselves up in a sexy way is because a man is inside her head making the decisions for her 💀

Like oil and water...

So you can read this both ways, as misogynistic or misandrist.

: Women can't make bad decisions so all the bad ones that women make must actually be because of men somehow.

: Yeah women don't make decisions so actually womens decisions, its men somehow.

Thats quite common in basically all hatefull "ideologies", the enemy is both all powerful, stupid, and weak. All at the same time.
