I've had these words rolling around my brain for a little while now: feminism has utterly betrayed itself. This statement from Randa Abdel-Fattah at a recent panel on Feminism in the time of Gaza really cut through.
It brought on a wave of reflection. A kind of reckoning with myself.
In today's episode, we explore what happens when a movement with equality at its heart, fails to live up to its own ideology. And more specifically, what that means for those of us who consider ourselves to be feminists.
This isn't just about the 'feminist movement'. It's about me, a feminist, taking an honest look at myself, my beliefs and my actions.
I share what I'm unlearning, where I've found my own blind spots, and invite you to join me in grappling with some (possibly uncomfortable) questions for yourself.
