Words shape perceptions, influence actions, and reinforce biases. Dismissing women’s ambitions, emotions, or leadership with harmful phrases holds us all back. Let’s challenge and change the narrative—because words matter.
❌ “Women are too emotional to lead.” → ✅ “Women make strong, empathetic leaders.”
❌ “Boys will be boys.” → ✅ “Accountability matters.”
❌ “She’s bossy.” → ✅ “She’s a confident leader.”
❌ “That’s just how things have always been.” → ✅ “We have the power to create change.”
❌ “She got lucky.” → ✅ “She worked hard for this achievement.”
❌ “Men are natural leaders.” → ✅ “Leadership is about skills, not gender.”
❌ “She’s too ambitious.” → ✅ “She’s driven and determined.”
❌ “He helps with the kids.” → ✅ “Parenting is a shared responsibility.”
❌ “She’s just being sensitive.” → ✅ “Her feelings and experiences are valid.”
❌ “This is a women’s issue.” → ✅ “Gender equality benefits everyone.”
