Misogynists assume that because I’m a female empath, I’m a loser and a doormat. Once I show that I’m not a doormat — by standing up for myself — they project their bitchhood onto me. Of course, this is about them, not be: they treat women like that in general, but I’m convinced empaths get it worse.
