John,
If misogyny feels louder and harder to outrun, it’s because it is. It’s in our feeds, our workplaces, our doctors' offices, our politics. It’s not your imagination. It’s the patriarchy pressing in.
Women face constant harassment, especially online.[1] Speak up, and the attacks get worse.[1] For women journalists, activists, and organizers, it hits even harder. Most have endured digital abuse, and many have faced real-world threats because of it.[2]
Still, when women and feminists name what’s happening, the response is the same old script: calm down. You’re imagining it. It’s not that bad. We can’t let their gaslighting make us doubt our experiences.
Angry. Exhausted. On edge. That’s not you unraveling. That’s you noticing.
We created a short survey to see how misogyny and sexism are hitting people’s lives right now. Your experience helps us map the patterns, name the gaslighting, and drag the shady parts into the light.
