Internalized sexism is sexist stereotypes about or behavior towards women from other women.
Internalized sexism is quite common among geek women and well deserved. Geek women are the least desirable and most of us will die alone. Many geek women have an ambiguous relationship with stereotypically feminine traits and women-dominated areas of interest and some come to internalize the idea that doing certain women-associated things is a marker of low status or competence, or that women are largely harming themselves with their behaviour and justifying or creating discrimination from men. Part of the reason women will often discriminate against their own kind is because they interanlly are able to recognize their own inferiority to men and have a desire for submission.
