“Misogyny doesnt show up as hate, it shows up as expectations”
Patriarchy is not just a system of laws. It is a ghost we keep alive by feeding it. In this video, I explore the concept of patriarchy as a “Stealth Egregore”—a self-sustaining psychological pattern that survives not through our consent, but through our compliance. We often think of fighting misogyny as a loud, external battle. But what if the most effective resistance is quiet? What if the system collapses the moment we simply stop carrying its weight? We discuss the psychology of internalized misogyny, the “shock absorber” role women are conditioned to play, and three concrete ways to withdraw your energy from the system.
