    When the “Sisterhood” Fails: Internalised Misogyny and the Bullying of Single Mothers

    June 30, 2026 / 0 Comments

    We often hear about the power of female solidarity— the so-called “sisterhood” that is supposed to support and protect women. But as any woman who has ever stepped outside the traditional societal script knows, there is a darker side to this narrative. Sometimes, the harshest judges, the quietest executioners, and the loudest bullies a woman faces are other women. This phenomenon is rooted in internalised misogyny: a systemic conditioning where women subconsciously adopt and enforce patriarchal biases against their own peers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the subtle, ongoing scrutiny and isolation faced by single mothers who choose independence over toxic conformity. The Myth of “A good woman’s…

    Bullet journal setup for October

    September 27, 2025 / 0 Comments

    October is my second favourite month. The summer heat is gone, so I feel more comfortable. Mornings are foggy, which I absolutely love, butternut squash is in season, and it’s the perfect temperature for baking – I hate to turn on the oven when it’s 35 degrees outside and 25 inside. This is also the time when I get more creative after my summertime depression, and I’m happier to sit down and draw, paint or experiment with something new.
