My older sister and mom like to say that I have internalized misogyny and don’t support women because I don’t always blindly take their sides
Saying that I think my dad is being the reasonable one in a conflict, or even just that I want to stay out of the conflict altogether, is enough to infuriate them.
I remind them that I’m the only woman in the family in the past 10 years to hold a relationship for more than a year. They say it’s another example of me “selling out for the approval of a man” and imply that I’m being abused.
I hate the examples they’re setting for my little sister who is 17. They can never keep the toxicity to themselves.
