Women Are Not Emotional Infrastructure
Folks! I just published a new article with Brainz Magazine called 'Women Are Becoming Emotional Infrastructure for Broken Systems'.
This piece is deeply connected to conversations many women have about normalized overload, invisible labour, burnout, overfunctioning, advocacy work, and the impossible expectations placed on women, especially those in care work, justice-oriented spaces, leadership, organizing, and emotionally intensive roles.
One of the things I explore in the article is how burnout is often framed as an individual failure instead of a structural condition. Many women are not “failing to cope.” They are carrying communities, institutions, workplaces, families, movements, and emotional labour that systems themselves refuse to hold.
I would genuinely love to hear what resonates for you, what feels familiar, and what you think often goes unnamed in mainstream burnout conversations.
