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:
- Wine of the Day: Mimosas!
- 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
- Celebrating intersectionality
- The ins and outs of appropriation (and why it’s okay for Liz to enjoy hip-hop dance)
