Your exhaustion is not personal
Many women who care about justice, community, and social change eventually start asking themselves:
“Why am I so exhausted?”
The answer is rarely individual failure or poor time management.
It is structural.
Systems shaped by colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism, and other forms of inequality depend heavily on women carrying invisible labour, emotional responsibility, and moral pressure.
Holding communities together.Keeping organizations functioning.Absorbing conflict.Doing the work that often goes unseen.
Over time, that accumulation produces burnout.
Not because women are weak.
Because the systems themselves are unsustainable.
I wrote more about this here:

If you read it, I would be interested in your thoughts.
