Thanks for reading, Dave. I just had to get it off my chest because it’s always so sad to see when people choose not to uplift each other 🥺

Thank you for your insight into this important issue: internalized misogyny by women. I only heard the phrase a few weeks ago, but I finally have a name for behavior I (and likely, most of us) have experienced my/our whole lives. Your article explains further, and provides some useful guidance for honest self-reflection. I’ll share as much as possible; everyone needs to read this! We are stronger and happier when we uplift one another.

Yes. It’s always so sad to see when people choose not to uplift each other, isn’t it?
