Good for Laura, I think this is bang on. And I know many of us have been whispering about Ford's distressing feminism 'branding' exercises for a while.
I actually genuinely hope Ford is OK rn, but she also needs to be reticent about critique from peers bc this is how we evolve. https://twitter.com/laura_la_rosa_/status/1293436669601824770
Feminism is a practice so important to me I put it on my body in writing, and selling it for chunk change in a swap for face treatments and attention is v blah.
Don't do it, kids! Also, don't trash theory, esp if you haven't read any, esp if you haven't read any bla(c)k theory!
Before you go out and preach feminism, sit down and read Aileen Moreton-Robinson, bell hooks, Roxane Gay, Sohaila Abdulali, Susan Faludi, Mikki Kendall, Rebecca Solnit, Ruby Hamad and more! Xx
