The term medical misogyny has received an honourable mention for word of the year by Macquarie Dictionary.
This is not a surprise. It is because it is real, it happens, and it is relatable.
This is some ways to show what it feels like this:
Being told to “just rest."
Being given antidepressants instead of answers.
Waiting a decade for a diagnosis that should’ve taken months.
Feeling like you’re speaking an alien language no one in the room understands.
Feeling dismissed or not heard.
This term — medical misogyny — isn’t just a definition.
It’s validation.
It’s truth.
It’s lived experience.
And it’s why women’s stories matter now more than ever.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unseen…you’re not alone.
And you’re not imagining it.
Be part of the change. Join a space where you are part of the herd.
