Welcome to 2021: where people like to sling around buzz words without actually knowing what they mean.
One of those words is feminism; people are gaslighting each other, claiming you're not a feminist if you don't support all women (regardless of where that woman stands). On the other end of the spectrum, people relate feminism with negativity, calling us "snowflakes" and dismissing our experiences because "it's not that bad."
Both of these are trash messages.
So, what exactly is feminism? What is a better way to think about how we show up for the women in our lives?
We cover all of this in today's episode!
