ngl women are allowed to be uncomfortable with the internalised misogny of other women / gay people are allowed to be uncomfortable with the internalised homophobia of other gay people etc. i feel like theres a very moralistic focus on "supporting women with internalised misogny" - and obviously it would be wrong to mock or abandon a woman because she is struggling with it, and i do think there are certain people that actually really enjoy being cruel to women with internalised misogny.
HOWEVER, women are very capable of perpetuating misogny and it can be very uncomfortable for other women to be around, and i feel like "support women with internalised misogny" has sort of become a woke way of saying "stop pitting queens against eachother!!". it's partially the general misunderstanding that support and solidarity dont necessarily mean just being best pals, and partially moralistic purity that insists on upholding marginalised people no matter what.
