Ladies, it’s time to stop blaming guys for the trashy portrayal of women in media. At least on the pop culture hub MTV, it’s actually your fellow women to blame.

Think most of the misogyny on MTV comes from men? Guess again, says a new study of the network’s shows, which finds women engage in a whopping 88 percent of the shows’ sexual dialogue, insult each other much more than the men, and offer themselves up in positive portrayals only when they’re talking about physical appearance and their ability to bounce back from getting ridiculed.

Some of the findings:

• Just 24% of the things women had to say about themselves was positive.
• Any positive dialogue dominantly involved appearance, sense of accomplishment, and emotional resilience after being insulted.
• Whereas men are more likely to use complimentary or even friendly terms to refer to other men, women tended to use more insulting terms to refer to other women.
• Women talked about sexual relations, body parts, and intercourse more than men. And they usually describe all of that more graphically, too.

And the discovery that pop culture has created a negative image of what it means to be female:

“The most shocking finding – or at least the most disturbing – was the way the two genders spoke of themselves. The women were overwhelmingly more disparaging when speaking of themselves. With so much being invested and so much at stake in empowering one’s self, especially for girls, the overwhelming message from reality television targeted at teen girls is to be overly negative to yourself,” PTC President Tim Winter told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “After so many years of pursuing equality for women, our study suggests a glamorized, but grossly distorted view, of what it means to be feminine.”

So the next time you complain about men being shallow or lacking respect, remember: It’s not men that made not respecting women culturally acceptable. Women did it to other women. They glamorized disrespect and shallowness. Men are far from perfect, but we’re not to blame for this one.
