a giant; something of enormous size or power
from Hebrew Golyath, the giant defeated by David
Goliath was the giant who got small when David's stone went tall!
Goliath is a male biblical figure; the term 'David vs. Goliath' default assumes male power dynamics, obscuring historical narratives where women fought similar asymmetrical conflicts.
Use metaphorically without gendered assumptions; 'facing a giant challenge' works for all people.
["giant","overwhelming opponent","asymmetrical conflict"]
Women warriors like Joan of Arc faced Goliath-scale odds; reframe the narrative to include them.
