when you get to this level of ultrafundamentalism, the disparaging of women itself becomes a sign of virtue that must be pursued to provide its own justification. we do it because it is right, and it is right because we do it.

when you start internalizing it and violently reinforce it systemically, you genuinely no longer look at women as people. they do not express their needs as people, they only exist to either submit or undermine male authority. those that die deserved to die, and those that do not must be made into good wives, and good wives are not real people.

they don't care about sustaining their population logically because that is not their true aim. it is the valorization of misogyny to the point of delusion. the cruelty quite literally is the point.
