it's called internalising misogyny, women can behave in a way that reflects the misogynist, sexist culture they live within too. It's no more helpful to themselves than it is when men do it; but it s a great get out clause for people to just point and say 'not my problem'.
If you don't think this would be remarked about over the water in Europe (hello from the EU by the way), then you're not reading in the right places.
Sorry, but this kind of behaviour needs challenging. People will frequently not realise they're complicit. They aren't necessarily being malicious, but they are taking part. If it makes people uncomfortable that's tough, people are having some of their basic assumptions kicked out from under them, this is hard.
