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.

This is key. This is why Elizabeth Warren did so badly. People were uncomfortable with her anger even though they had no trouble with male candidates' anger. They didn't oppose all female candidates, just ones who didn't act "feminine" enough.

I look forward to you dropping your support of Sanders and throwing your wight behind Tulsi then!
Disliking another person is not misogyny. It’s just silly to call that misogyny.

Women are the WORST towards each other.

You're describing NOW, the Womens March, and probably the Democrat Party generally. Or else you'll support Nikki Haley in 2024.

So not liking woman that you do not like even if you are a woman is misogyny....is it possible for a woman to not like another woman with out hating all woman? This is a weird and totally out there thought experiment...

Feminism isn’t simply about supporting women (or reducing support for men). This erroneous take becomes even more problematic with increasing gender fluidity / identification with genfpder norms.
