Yes astrology is bullshit, but the hate it gets is disproportionate compared to other kinds of woo, and I believe it is because it is a thing that has historically (In recent history anyway) appealed to women and is culturally associated with women.
Unlike basically any other kind of woo, astrology doesn’t have a noteworthy body count, it harms basically no one, and it just sits there being a bit silly.

See: everyone ITT calling it fascist, eugenics, etc
This is my opinion as well. Sometimes I genuinely feel astrology only gets so much vitriol because it’s seen as a “women’s hobby.”
I said the exact same thing during a struggle session on the topic last year although it was on a different account.
