This is a genderist and misogynistic view, not a "gender critical" one. It's also a view that's personally insulting to me, most of the women I know, and many of the women who read and post on this sub.

Exactly, and I agree with you. Sorry I didn't make myself clearer on this. It's unfair and those stereotypes need to go away. But hating those rules doesn't make them go away. It's tough out there for us women because of the genderist and misogynistic views that most people in the world around us have. Men like the neckbeard I'm talking about are ignorant of feminism and the experience of women growing up and living under those pressures. It's like white people on Facebook complaining about how privileged they think black people are. So ignorant about the black experience, yet these white assholes think they know everything and want to believe that racism conveniently doesn't exist. Likewise, some men are willfully ignorant of the negative effects of sexism and their own lifelong patriarchal privileges, even if they "think" they're women.
