People commonly associate resistance to oppression with political activism. I argue that there is a valuable kind of resistance that differs significantly from activism and is easily overlooked. In "quiet resistance" individuals push back against the effects of oppression on their personal lives by pursuing something-a project, preference, relationship, or ideal-that is forbidden or discouraged by the oppression they experience. Their resistance is "quiet" not in the sense that it literally cannot be heard, but because it does not attempt to communicate a message of resistance to a public audience. Quiet resistors do not have overtly political motives or aspirations. They resist for the sake of living a life that expresses who they are and what they care about in spite of or because of the risks. Aware of social pressures against their behavior, they have an attitude that says "to heck with that, I will not be stopped. I'm going to do it anyway!". Through quiet resistance, individuals can fulfill their values and preferences in a context where they are unjustly pressured not to do so. As such, it can exhibit self-respect and courage, and sometimes it can be a source of meaning in life.
