Women who deviate even in the slightest from the role the patriarchy has assigned (get married, have babies - that is a woman’s “purpose”) are “wrong”. In the past, they’d call us witches (where the cat trope originates) and burn us alive, now they can just say it as it is while the gendered violence epidemic runs riot- she did not make herself a vessel for a man’s seed, therefore she is a threat, and deserves everything she gets (some might even say she “asked for it” by making certain choices, that none of us actually know that she made).
Misogyny. That’s all it is.
