A lot of people argue that feminism is simply a natural order of things and that men treating women better than themselves have that built into them, however I would argue that barely anyone ever questions if at least some of this is pushed onto us throughout our lives.

Boys are often taught to respect girls and women without ever expecting any respect in return, boys are usually taught o never hit girls whereas girls are not taught they can't hit anyone. If this was just completely natural why would you ever need to teach children this?

I also understand that there are plenty of women who are very well aware that they are the priviliged ones and are feminists because they want to keep the systems that currently benefit them unchanged, but is it possible that at least some of the hate and vitriol is learned?

Education systems in many countries push feminist ideology onto students and teach girls that they are opressed and that they need to hate boys and men and work against them so they can supposedly reach the same level as them, even though they already have it a million times better than them. Also teaching girls that they are opressed when that is clearly not the case when you look at actual history is also harmful to them, as it locks them into a constant state of defensiveness over something that isn't real and it distracts from actual issues.

I think it's more complicated than simply feminism being completely natural and I believe that we need to have a serious conversation about things like these. There was also a post in an another sub talking about how women and girls acting weak could also be learned which inspired me to make this post. So what do you think about this?
