Hi everyone.
I’m 28 and have identified as a feminist since I was about 12. I know feminism can mean so many things to different people and we aren’t a monolithic group however I always interpreted that at the bare minimum it was about advocating for women’s rights. Anyways, I thought feminism was on the rise in my peer group and younger girls. I mean most mainstream pop stars are describing themselves as feminist, but honestly since this Trans movement has gathered momentum, it’s highlighted to me how much modern feminism has been corrupted. As in, I can’t even have a debate online with some of these young feminists about why prostitution isn’t ‘sex work’ and why surrogacy is selling women’s bodies. I know that there are disagreements about these, but they don’t even address the argument. In their minds it all boils down to choice and every women’s choice is inheritantly feminist. P**sy popping for the patriarchy is now the pinnacle of positive sexual liberation and feminism.
Anyway it’s making me mad. Feminism has been diluted. Why are so few of these debates being had on public forums? Makes me worried for the future.
