Bitterness? Stupidity? Brainwashed? A twisted ideology? I don't think there are things like sexism, patriarchy, alchemy, astrology. I think a lot of these things are created and pepetuated by people educated beyond their intelligence.

I once saw a video of a woman being interviewed. She was asked if there was anything that men had that was superior to women. She said no.

The interviewer then pointed out that men were physically stronger than women. The woman denied it. Women were just as physically strong as men, she said.

When questioned she said that one could not admit to those things because it made the other party stronger.

It is the same mindset that makes some Dems say that they only lost the last election by a few, and that the GOP didn't win by a landslide.

I read a report recently that said that 60% of young liberal women were mentally ill. I checked it and found several confirmations of that figure (I am still not sure if I believe that figure.)

I do think, though, that many people are being gaslit, and this is one of the outcomes.
