What Misogyny Sounds Like
When people finally take off the mask they wear to hide misogyny they may say things to women like:
Ugly/Unworthy
“You look like a man.”
“No man would have you.”
“You can’t get a man”
“You do not look like a woman.”
“You are ugly.”
Unimportant
“Women’s rights are not that important anyway.”
“There is no such thing as “women’s rights”.
“We have ‘more important’ things to worry about.”
Crazy/Unwell/Strange

“You are crazy.”
“You hate men.”
“You are a bigot.”
“Men were right about you all along.”
Threats
“We will jump/attack/kick your a–/make you bleed/punch you/kill you.”
Violence
Assault
Rape
Murder
When the mask falls off
the smile fades
the truth is revealed
BELIEVE IT.
You do not have to be considered:
- beautiful
- talented
- fair-skinned/light-skinned
- curvy/shapely/fit
- white
to be considered a woman.
These lies have only ever served males.
To hear the truth, try to keep company with people who support you in all that you are. In your womanhood.
In your right to speak.
In your female authority to speak about the things of womanhood.
