When women step into leadership with truth on our tongues, the hidden misogyny from all sides crawls into the light.
The world is comfortable with us nurturing, fixing, and loving pain away—but not with us leading, calling out, or refusing to soothe what harms us. Men can fail and be handed another chance. Women speak, and they are slurred. This is not about competence—it is about control.
When women lead with truth, hidden misogyny shows its teeth. What was once whispered becomes slander, sharp and loud.
The world is comfortable with women nurturing, fixing, and loving pain away. But when we stand firm, refuse to soothe harm, and name what’s wrong—criticism rains heavier than ever.
Men can fail in leadership and be given another chance. Women speak truth and get slurred. This isn’t about competence. It’s about control.
When women raise our voices, the backlash is instant. Misogyny that once hid in the shadows rushes forward.
They want us soft, soothing, fixing what hurts—but not naming what caused the pain.
Men can fail, stall, and get a second chance. Women get slurred for daring to succeed.
Every time a woman leads with truth, criticism sharpens. Not because she is wrong—but because she is female.
Society tolerates us as nurturers, not as leaders. As healers, not as truth-tellers.
Men stumble and get another chance. Women rise, and they call us names.
Misogyny hides well—until women lead. Then it comes out swinging.
We’re expected to absorb pain, not call it out. To patch wounds, not reveal who made them.
Men are excused for failure. Women are punished for truth. That’s the double standard we keep naming.
The world still isn’t sure what to do with a powerful, outspoken woman that it can’t control.
Misogyny hides well, until women rise…….
