A lot of misogyny is unconscious. Some of the most vicious misogeny is from women towards other women. One insidious form of it is “selective feminism” - a theoretical support of other women that really only applies to women that we like.

Correct Marianne. You've got a great platform to shine a positive light on @TulsiGabbard the only woman still running for POTUS. You seem better than others who dropped out and are scared to show Tulsi support in case it hurts their career. Prove me right... #tulsimediablackout

Sex work is work and sex workers deserve to be safe while working. Feminists constantly forget this group of woman or those that identify as woman.

I like #bertacaceres. I don’t like #HillaryClinton. I like you. I don’t like @GalGadot. I think it’s just about choice also but I take your point.

Are you saying to be "feminist" means to support ALL women, no matter what-even bad actors? NO. True feminism judges the characters of both women + men equally, apart from gender. Admirable women are celebrated. Those who lie, cheat, are self-serving, etc. are as culpable as men.

This is so true and it's disappointing.

It is unconscious and difficult to determine. If we instinctually don't like someone, we should dig deep and ask ourselves why. Ask, "Well, if he/she were a different gender/race/age/etc/etc, would I feel differently?"

So true. But I find Hillary, Kamala and Elizabeth Warren to be Mean Girls. They think they are paving the way for women, but their attitudes, behavior and styles are taking us back.
