This. 100% We are hypocrites by nature. More than that, we learn through our own shitty behavior, so we impart wisdom we didn't use ourselves often enough. I haven't met anyone who is immune to that.

As for moderates, meh. At least they're not extremists.

I wonder though if moderates are the silent majority? Hmmm ...

They believe in equality between genders, maybe. But also accept the dogma of their stories, telling them there are certain things men and women can and can not do.
Depending on the situation, they put on a different hat. Or more accurately, acces a different part of their mind holding a different part of their beliefs.

And we all do this. I can't tell how I am hypocritical, because it is, in essence, a blind spot. But I'd be surprised if I weren't holding onto contradicting beliefs on the matter of anything.

How can every single human being be hypocritical?

By being human.  It's a feature not a bug.
