[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Internalized misogyny[/quote] +1 there are a lot of women like this from the baby boomer generation. They came of age during the civil rights/women’s liberation era but they’re from very religious backgrounds like my mom and have extreme contempt for women who are not in traditionally female “nurturer” or “helper” professions like nurse, schoolteacher, or secretary. They can’t wrap their heads around a woman being good at anything non-traditional. Your husband deserves praise in her eyes; you don’t. If you’re an artist, scientist, engineer, or architect, well, you must be a bra burning lesbian. I had other relatives like this, too. They just favor men because that’s how they were raised. They don’t know anything else. OP, just ignore her. She’s never going to change. [/quote] Wow I could’ve written this about my mom. Raised Catholic.[/quote]
