Still She Rises

Some call it tradition. Some call it culture. Others pretend not to see it at all. But misogyny wears many masks.

It whispers in classrooms when girls are told to keep quiet. It shouts in boardrooms when women’s ideas are credited to someone else. It lurks in jokes, in expectations, in silence. It’s not always loud, but it’s always present.

Misogyny is not just about hate. It’s about power, control, and the belief that one gender is less. And sometimes… even women unknowingly carry it too. Because systems that shape us can also sink into us.

Still, she rises. She speaks, builds, leads, and dreams. And that itself becomes resistance.

So today, we don’t ask if misogyny exists. We ask how it survives in the everyday, and how we each allow or challenge it.

What’s your perception? Have you ever noticed a moment where misogyny was brushed off as “normal”?
