In this episode, I am talking to Samantha Martin, founder of the Femmish organization. Samanatha uses research to bring awareness around femme phobia- the systematic devaluing of femininity that people engage in when they police feminine qualities in others. This is an excellent conversation about how the world looks down on most things feminine and refuses to allow people assigned male at birth to embrace anything feminine but yet expects women to embrace femininity only to use it as a launching point of degradation.
We discuss:
The Femish Organization
The double standard of femininity vs. masculinity
Trusting other people's experiences
The devaluing of feminine professions
Toys from the Pink aisle
The value of research
