It all begins with an idea, your idea of feminism. Are you a feminist? A question that may sound simple but holds an abundance of weight for some. We share our individual journey in identifying as feminists. There is an unequivocal connection between feminism and the rise of the #metoo movement. In our discussion, Sorcha identifies a new entry point created by the powerful movement that raised the voices of women who have been sexually assaulted and silenced for far too many years. Feminism needs to be a fluid conversation, there are waves of it and a myriad of ways to define it but as we evolve so should our definitions. For so long men have been a part of the problem, but what does it look like when they are part of the solution? We are in a moment where men are being given the opportunity to rethink their definitions of masculinity—in Liz Plank’s words, “From toxic to a more mindful masculinity.”
