TAUGHT TO TEAR EACH OTHER DOWN🥺.
<p>Not every woman is your ally. A misogynist in heels is still a misogynist.</p><p>You've heard it before;&nbsp;</p><p>"She's too loud "</p><p>"She's too ambitious"&nbsp;</p><p>"That career is not for a woman"</p><p>" She's too fast " LoL.</p><p>Sometimes those words don't come from men. They come from our mothers, aunties and female friends .</p><p>Women being promoters of patriarchy💔.</p><p>That's internalized misogyny. When a woman unknowingly echo the lies of the system built against her, to silence her.</p><p>You want to know how you practice internalized misogyny??</p><p>- It's how we judge women's body.</p><p>- It's how we shame them for being ambitious, bold or dressing how they like.</p><p>- How we call girls " too much", "drama", or " not a wife material".&nbsp;</p><p>I hope we come to realize that freedom isn't rebellion. Its recovery, it's realization. And healing starts when we unlearn what hurt us.</p><p>Let's raise daughters/girl's who don't fear their power.&nbsp;</p><p>Let's stop holding women back because we were held down 👎🏾!!.</p>
