Ep 21 The F Word: Feminism

In Episode 21, we discuss the F word: Feminism! Specifically, the difference between reformist, revolutionary, and feel-good feminism as it relates to the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street. In the Trumpster Fire, we review the latest news and repercussions of Trump's transgender military ban, including how the military is responding. Our Media Minute encourages you to read Roxane Gay's new book, Hunger, and our Activist Action gives you three specific things to do in order to be a feminist. Empower yourself by joining our community and feel less alone in this topsy-turvy time.
