(7,673 posts)Some of these people also harbor a gleeful misogynistic rage that is permanent - once they discover a woman who in their opinion has done "wrong", there is nothing that can be said nor done to stop or avert their hate, ridicule, and harassment against this target.
This is the pent-up base misogyny these people painfully harbor when required to be "civil", and discovering an effective outlet for it is like piercing a tank under pressure and all emotion will be vented in this manner to relieve and justify every bit of anger this type of person holds.
This deep-seated misogyny is not reserved to individuals of one gender, as both men and women of this type, upon finding a worthy scapegoat for their feelings, latch on and never release their victim because they consider it rare to find another one. They are happy to have found a justifying "reason" for all their deep-seated hatred against women and will direct even unrelated ire and blame upon their victim of choice.
Choosing a male victim of this directed rage is rare, because men stereotypically are considered able to ignore and shrug off extended bouts of invective. Misogynists who need this vampiric form of anger release may side-line some of their anger at a males they consider "weak", but will have a very special malignant preoccupation with the specific female target of their rage.
