I’m doing some research for a little article I’m writing ... #fiat feminism ... about how our broken monetary system has (mis)shaped the direction of modern-day #feminism
The idea is that the “progress” we see today isn’t the result of moral or social evolution, but of economic pressures, and that today’s mainstream feminist ideas largely benefits a small class of professional, successful women
It also downplays the natural, healthy differences between men and women, pushing women to adopt more masculine modes of being (constant working, striving, doing - "girlboss-ing") rather than honoring and leaning into our feminine strengths
I want to trace this back to the monetary system: how has an inflationary currency and the need to work harder and harder for less and less distorted the meaning of female empowerment? What would an organic, healthy form of progress look like, free from these pressures??
If you know any resources (books, essays, articles, podcasts) that touch on this, I’d love your recommendations!!!
