feminism

In light of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, are we really surprised that the government has viewed femininity as a political weapon rather than a state of life?

In the 1800s, “femininity” was a lot of things — cinched waists, long dresses, submission. But it was not necessarily hairless.

All my life, I’ve attempted to avoid falling into the labels and categories being thrown my way, but stereotypes exist for a reason. Sometimes they can even be true to a certain extent.

“Happy International Women’s Day” is not something you can say in Mexico, and if you do say it, all you’re going to get are weird looks and maybe even a scolding.

As I’ve started my own fintech startup and interacted with founders and venture capitalists, I’ve begun to question the movement for girlboss feminism.

‘She's not even that pretty’, ‘She's so full of herself’, ‘She's such a sl*t’, ‘She wears WAY too much make-up’. If you identify as a woman, chances are, you've thought or said one of the following about another women.

The label “feminist,” in my experience, comes with certain expectations. It’s tiring to constantly think to yourself, “Am I feminist enough?”

There is so much stigma associated with menstrual health that an education system that constantly pushes this topic behind closed doors is dangerous.

We have been taught to think, from a very young age, that an intelligent person, a scientist, looks a certain way, which often isn’t very feminine.

As feminism becomes increasingly performative, “activism” becomes no more than passively liking or re-sharing a post.
