One term to define it is "ladder pullers" (think Amy Coney Barrett or Thomas' wife (forget her name). These are women who get where they are and then pull up the ladder behind them by defending the patriarchy. A modern term is "pick me girls". More technically, it's called internalised misogyny. It's a thing.

But, like critical race theory, it's not commonly taught outside of highly theoretical legal and other academic contexts. It's absolutely a thing.
