The “F word” doesn’t have to be bad! Today we have two awesome guests, Ashley Stacey and Christine Horvath. They both have degrees in Women’s Studies and they’re here for a big juicy conversation about feminism! Christine has her own show, Babes to Know, in which awesome women share stories you’ve never heard before.
We’ll Discuss:

How people view feminism
Why your version of feminism doesn’t have to look like our version of feminism
How we make ourselves aware of the different aspects of feminism
Privilege: why we’re privileged, its role, and why you should be aware of it
Why we need to accept ignorance as a fact of life... and be open to new knowledge
Why is feminism and the equality of women a partisan issue?
How can we empower women?
Trying to make feminism more intersectional
The movement towards getting diverse voices elected into local public offices
The everyday discrimination that many women face and have come to accept as part of the status quo – and ways to combat the status quo
How we can teach or share empathy

The ins and outs of appropriation (and why it’s okay for Liz to enjoy hip-hop dance)
