lots of reasons - early indoctrination, for one. but there are also benefits for women like this.
women who buy in are given a lot of power - over other women, minorities, children. they’re also told that they’ll be protected from the harm they see happening to other women (that they and the men in their lives participate in creating). i recall a recovering white supremacist woman who believed the white men around her wanted to protect good white women and girls until she was at an event and witnessed a bunch of guys raping a girl. she understood the lie, then.

anyway, that’s my rambling answer.
Your reply reminded me of something I heard/read once, maybe on Lemmy: those who agree there is corruption but get angry when the corruption is exposed are probably benefitting from the corruption. That’s probably not the exact quote, but the gist of it.
The power itty bitty mushroom peen compels them ? 😏
