One of the things that bothers me most about this is that it's mostly women girls who do this.
::nods:: Indeed. One of the things that truly bothers me the most about misogyny in fandom is the fact that so much of fandom is a female space, and so often the people spewing the most woman hate are the women.
I think it's part of the vicious cycle that keeps sexism alive- we're socialized to think of men as wonderful, and to simultaneously criticize and attack the women. It's like a panopticon of misogyny.
