If we are to find any sort of collectivity, it must be forged through amplification of women’s voices, experiences, and standpoints
Less than a week ago, International Women’s Day was upon us. Suddenly, women were everywhere. Or had they always been and I missed something? I have mixed feelings of the “on the one hand... but on the other hand” variety about this Women’s Day business.
On the one hand, just in this one week, I have received offers from a spa, a home goods store, a make-up brand and a jewellery store. Capitalism’s takeover of my female self is complete. But this is a tired critique for what might be a growing willingness to at least take the idea of feminism seriously.
