Lately, more so now than ever, I feel like I am screaming sometimes and no one even notices. Why is it so hard to have a voice as a woman amongst majority of men?
It’s incredible how you can be the only woman in a conversation amongst men as they argue what is and is not appropriate language used on women.
Am I literally crazy and not know I’m mute?
That’s an actual thought I had earlier today in a work meeting.
And then to address any misogyny afterwards just to be gaslit- being told you’re hurtful for misunderstanding their humor.
Read that again.
I am being hurtful because I cannot take a joke based on misogyny and chauvinism.
Isn’t that incredible.
Basically it’s-
“STAY QUIET and be ignored because we’ll just drown you out before you hold us accountable and work on our fragile male egos.“
Sigh. What a tiring life.
Am I the problem?
