How to take care of a misogynist woman?

The tone of voice and the "mellow" behaviors can give us clues. Although they do not become obvious signals, they do come to be perceived.

If you detect that a woman tries to attack you with her comments or wants to harass you, it is best to disarm the game. You can do it talking head on, and clearly say that you have already detected their intention and that you do not think so.

In this way, the behavior that should be promoted would be that of a brotherhood, that is, accept that women can also have competition among themselves, but that does not end up hating or mistreating the other.

The first thing you should do is compete with loyalty. Also speak to your partner with frankness, that is, verbalize your feelings, whether of courage, anger, resentment, even admiration or affection.

Believing in yourself will make your relationships with other women in the company more enriching. By having your high self-esteem, you will transmit a positive image.

Do not forget to discover what makes you feel good, what hurts you, what sensations you experience when you are with a partner or superior.

If you frequently interact with hostile women, get in touch with your own feelings and look for the motivations that lead to getting hooked with them.
