Fair Warning:
This piece asks hard questions — not all have answers.
It critiques systems, not souls.
Disagree? Perfect. Let’s talk.
Silence has had the mic long enough.
Part 1: The Silence.
Because the girl at the podium wasn’t missing — she was edited out.

Just a woman missing from the room. Again.
No one noticed the silence — because it sounded like everything else.
But silence has its architects. And absence, its authors.
👧🏽 Girls — The Show-Stoppers! Phir Maari Baazi!
Somehow — don’t ask me how —
when girls top exams, it’s a miracle headline. It’s the headline!
But let a boy top, and it’s business as usual.
Even if it’s unusual… we’ll make it “meh”.
