No kidding! I've written myself about how dislodging the patriarchy and misogyny between female ears will take a lot longer than the 100+ years of modern feminism. There are a lot of female psychological virtues/vulnerabilities you see on the left - like wanting to be 'liked', and be 'kind' and 'inclusive'. Those are all good things, but taken to the extreme, it allows certain types of men to victimize women. Women are often too collaborative in their own oppression, and many are unwilling to acknowledge it. As for the feminist lackeys of misogyny on the too-far left, they will likely never change because it's too intolerable to admit one was so hideously wrong about misogyny in dresses. Who would want to admit to themselves that they're collaborators to The Patriarchy (dun dun DUUUUNNN?) Without that patriarchy uprooted from their brains, they are, exactly like angry men on the right and left, too willing to throw women under the bus.
A few years ago I read a book about how deeply entrenched misogyny was in abusive men, and how it's near-impossible to dislodge it with therapy. I hope it won't prove as difficult to dislodge it in women.
