We discuss;

✨ White feminism as an ideology 

✨ The problems with "girl boss" and choice feminism frameworks 

✨ How individualistic feminism connects to regressive movements like the trad wife movement 

✨ Intersectionality's original intent and how it's been diluted as a buzzword


Gina also shares insights from her work facilitating workshops with young people, helping them think critically about gender stereotypes and societal expectations.
