Interesting.
It's a normal (yet shitty) human behaviour to irrationally apportion blame to external factors to explain one's bad performance (It's part of a theory called "locus of control" if I remember well). It's a self defence mechanism.
What I wonder is what comes first: internal unconscious misogyny coming up when one's self esteem is threatened, or the low self esteem makes one's more prone to believe misogynistic ideas coming from others?

Also, it makes me realise that perhaps one of the best way to eradicate misogyny (and all the other prejudices such as homophobia, transphobia and racism) is to foster greater self-esteem through education? Education in the amily, education at school and also education at all levels of society.
Just thinking out loud.
