    I always thought it based in Christianity.

    “For it was eve that ate the apple an now women must be subservient to men” least that’s how I hear it. I heard from a female american colleague that she struggled with male trash telling her to get in kitchen and out of office back in 90s but better in recent years. I heard one older (60s) male coworker write a formal written complaint on that specific woman. Like wtf? That bloke never had time for emails but will complain about the new woman in the office? Now it seems right wing brain rot is making things complicated. I worry for future women.

      We have Christians and mysogynist idiots in Europe as well, so I doubt that explains the difference

        As someone who’s spent half his life on each continent, there are few religious nuts in Europe that can hold a candle to the crazy of American religious nuts.

        Well, yeah…

        If someone was completely ignorant about how America was first “settled” by religious extremists, that would make sense.

        European most extreme zealots who wanted to force everyone to follow their rules were mad they were minorities in Europe, so they all signed up to come to America where they would be a majority and have a shit ton of kids to maintain that majority.

        The “idiots” you have in Europe, are the ones not extreme enough to cross an ocean to force their beliefs on people, so fucking obviously the most extreme in Europe won’t be as extreme as the ones that left.

        Like, logically you should have been able to figure this out.

        Just in general tho…

        When someone says something you’re not aware of, why don’t you just ask some fucking questions and then next time it comes up, you won’t be ignorant.

        Like, that’s how this whole “learning” thing works.

        What you’re doing is just telling everyone you’re ignorant, and hoping someone takes a minute to proactively explain things to you.

        But it’s almost guaranteed you’re gonna get belligerent about it and I’m gonna end up blocking you.

          And of course there haven’t been any changes in european idiocy in the two hundred years since that happened. There also haven’t been any Americans coming back to return their brand of idiocy, which is why the are no mornings or scientologists in Europe right?

      Most people form their opinions first then make up a reason for having them that is usually not true but is the most socially acceptable reason.

      The Bible is full of stories that are vague and can be interpreted however you like to support any point.

      Like how the angel Gabriel that came to Mary asked her for her consent to carry Jesus. Which supports pro choice.

      The true reason for misogyny is the same reason for racism.

      People in power benefit from it.

      And it allows the majority to feel superior over another class , keeping them more docile against the rulling class.

      And when the bottom people get hostile, then it’s just fighting between these two groups.

      Again it keeps the ruling party safe. The plebs will just fight with each other.

          There is a fair bit of psychology research on this topic.

          Generally we don’t know why we make the choices we do. And we make up something plausible.

          I can’t think of the two main researchers who headed this, but I do know them. Im sure it will come to me later. I’ll post a reply with a link. I know there is a wiki on their work too.

          Before them there was this famous study, I believe it was in Germany in like the 60s.

          They showed women 4 pairs of panty hose. And asked the women to pick the best ones. Like a product comparison.

          Except all 4 pairs were identicle.

          Most women choose the pair they handled first.

          When asked why the pair they picked was superior. The women said this pair was better because it had more elastic. Was thicker. Better quality. Etc.

          But that wasn’t true.

          They picked it because it was the first pair they were exposed to.
