From angry teenage feminist, scowling at boys who opened doors for me, to my misandry era, to now. In this episode, I trace how my thinking about feminism, and about being a woman, has changed over the past 12 years.
We’ll talk about casual misogyny, bad sex ed, double standards, feminist theory, Anaïs Nin, and why I now believe feminism is about the freedom to decide what femininity or masculinity looks like for you.
This isn’t a prescriptive episode. I’m not here to tell you what to believe. I’m here to offer you my story as an invitation: to explore what feminism, femininity and masculinity mean to you, and how to live them out in a way that feels completely, unapologetically yours.
