Am I Credible Yet?
#MeToo created the illusion that women are heard, and even more of a misconception, that women are believed. It’s true that women are speaking out and sharing their stories, opinions and visions – but while the frequency has increased, the weight of those words have remained largely unchanged.
The Privilege of Being Unlikable
The tradition of female politeness has been inadvertently handed down from woman to woman, generation to generation and society to society for centuries. And as we infiltrate more and more patriarchal structures, this expectation is so deeply embedded that it is yet another invisible anchor firmly attached to all women… even the ones that chose the path of unlikability.
