how beautifully you have woven your own narrative with dialogue of various feminist activists, i am eager to discuss it all with you directly after i read part ii! the writing is so smooth, i couldn't pull myself away from the screen
your unique perspective of having been in the bubble of a girls only school was particularly interesting to hear about.
i listened to a podcast that briefly highlighted how the internet has taken serious psychological terms, like dissociation, or ptsd, and converted them into a more casual meaning. expanding on your paragraph on today's feminist discourse - do you feel that pop culture has essentially redefined the definition of feminism to something...aesthetic-leaning? or rather, it's done a similar thing as has been done with those psychological terms?
p.s. just realised noticed the malcolm liepke...yet another artist i chose to study for my art gcse! i love the overlap of our artistic taste
yes i definitely think there's a tendency to make feminism more of an aesthetic... i remember reading one paper last year (https://academic.oup.com/jcr/article-abstract/15/2/139/1841428) about how possessions reflect our identities & the concept of marker goods - i feel the same can be said for a lot of the symbols used to represent feminism (both on and offline), which strike mas quite hollow? in that they're used to portray progressiveness to fellow women, without making any sacrifices for social acceptability...!
p.s. hehe yes!! i really love his themes and colour palettes!
the long awaited release has finally arrived ~
