There are two sides of misogyny: benevolent and hostile. A woman participating in benevolent misogyny may be shielded from harsher aspects of hostile misogyny. Also misogyny is a 'in for an inch, in for a mile'. Once someone has accepted or started excusing smaller behaviors that are easy to brush off or ignore, it then becomes easier to ignore larger, more egregious behaviors.
