Simulating a patriarchal, multilayered voice-filtering system, this work reveals how rejection is rationalized through language, procedures, and the illusion of fairness. The audience is invited to participate and experience the erasure of expression under structural oppression: how women’s voices are filtered through rules and technical discourse in a system that appears neutral, fair, and well-structured. Witness how an oppressive structure justifies itself—quietly, logically, and systematically.
