Welcome to this month’s Feminist Friday, where I round up some of the best thought-provoking links, and we can discuss what’s going on in the zeitgeist. Our motto here: Feminism is for everyone.
Feminist Focus
Do you ever come across a thread on Twitter that you end up reading until you forgot what you were even reading about to begin with?
That’s how I felt when I started on this thread, calling out a magazine cover for including five white actress and one black actress.
The topic is harassment in Hollywood; the issue is lack of inclusion of WOC.
You can read opinion after opinion as you scroll through, but the question I want to pose is:
Do threads like this empower feminists or pit them against one another?
