As always, I think its both. The narrative is deliberate from the top, but the average woman is not smart enough to think that complexly and deeply. They rely entirely on instinct and impulsiveness.

Many of them truly do think everything in this world is hurting them more than others because it feeeeeels move painful, because only women are pathetic enough to cry and vent emotionally about minor things.

Its not a kind image, its separating the useful idiot ranks from the leadership.
