The article discusses the problematic nature of women who express misogynistic views while prefacing their statements with 'As a woman...' or 'I'm a woman, but...'—a tactic that does not lend legitimacy to their opinions. This behavior can reinforce misogyny, particularly in social scenarios where women seek approval from men at the expense of other women. It also calls out the issue of internalized misogyny as a serious matter, while making it clear that the discussed behavior is a different, conscious choice rather than an internal struggle.
Prefacing misogyny with 'As a woman...' or 'I'm a woman, but...' only amplifies bias; such statements don't validate the anti-women sentiment expressed.
It's critical to differentiate between internalized oppression and blatant misogyny, especially when women publicly side with men to gain approval.
