You have power in your mind not outside events discover this and you will find your strength.

Misogyny is a form of hatred, contempt, or prejudice against women. A form of sexism that is designed to oppress women and keep them in a state of subordination.

Misogyny has been widely practiced for thousands of years and finds its expression through art, literature, business myths, religion, and other societal structures.

Misogyny is also evidenced through gender inequality, systemic discrimination against women, reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, gender pay gaps, the silencing and marginalizing of female voices and perspectives.

This process of oppression intersects with other systems of subordination such as racism, ableism, and classism compounding more implicit disadvantages and multiple forms of discrimination.

Violence and sexual harassment in workspaces are captivating environments where female vulnerabilities have been exploited.

It’s a cultural attitude held by men perpetrated through societal norms and religious tenets.

Misogyny can be surreptitious and beguiling like a snake waiting on the opportunity to pounce but also deceptive to the extent that its manifestation when it’s a party of two can have plausible deniability.
