Guys being upset that many women like astrology is, once again, sexist brainworms.
Very true that a vast majority of the backlash to it is rooted in misogyny.
Most women don’t take it that seriously, brad.
I definitely believe most people’s interaction with astrology is virtually equivalent to fortune cookies, but anecdotally speaking, the people I’ve met who are very into astrology have told me they’ve made fairly important life decisions based on it…which scares the shit out of me.
I refuse to judge people who find amusement in it, but true belief in it is certainly anti-materialist and a non-negligible number of people elevate it to a position where I can no longer see it as strictly harmless fun.

The most into-astrology person I met was a 68 yo librarian dude. He was virgo.
