I can’t do much at the moment, especially as I can’t vote in the US (though reside there).

One way I’m doing something though is talking about it, to my friends, coworkers, anyone who will listen. I talk about how I want to stand waist deep in a lake catching fish and getting mud all over myself. I talk about how I like to wear guys clothes because it has pockets and how I’m angry at society and manufacturers still treating women as unworthy of having useful pockets. I talk about how I choose to go by a masculine-androgynous name because my hyper feminine name will cost me jobs. I don’t hide my reasons for my “male” actions behind flowery language, I say it as it is. I say I don’t plan on taking the COVID vaccine because it will not have been tested enough yet, a drug only 1 year old is not a drug I trust, because science and medicine has a male default. I don’t trust researchers to have taken women’s bodies into consideration with it. I’m pretending to be more masculine because of misogyny, and I don’t hide it. I actively talk about it.

The first step to fighting misogyny is to recognize it. You can’t fight it if you don’t even know what it is, how it comes to be and the littlest effects.
