I think the vast majority of women cope with their lives by carrying around a huge load of cognitive dissonance. This basically allows them to function and get through a life that might otherwise be unbearable. The problem is, that load of cognitive dissonance also prevents them from ever really seeing what the issues are, and how to actually fight effectively. Since women like this are also constantly gaslighting themselves, it also means that they're very susceptible to other forms of gaslighting too - societal gaslighting, manipulation from partners or family members, and so on.

This is why I think women have fallen for the transactivist movement so easily. It's not just female socialisation kicking in (empathy for a supposedly oppressed minority); it's also because women spend so much time lying to themselves that they can't see truth from lies very well.

Men know this about women, and take advantage of it all the time.
