girl boss feminism

[@jordanatheresa]

EDIT - sorry for mispronouncing kamala’s name throughout this video! complete oversight on my part and thank you to everyone who corrected me ANOTHER EDIT - everyone commenting about decriminalising sex work ‘not working’ and using germany as an example, germany actually legalised sex work and didnt decriminalise it, there is a huge difference between legalisation and decriminalisation, a country which did decriminalise sex work was new zealand! if you want to know more i highly recommend reading the book ‘revolting prostitutes’ i hope you all enjoy this video! i forgot to mention this in my video but i really recommend all of you guys to do further reading and research into intersectional feminism! two books i recommend are hood feminism by mikki kendall & women, race & class by angela y.davis time stamps: 00:00 - intro 03:09 - what is girl boss feminism? 07:16 - why some women like girl boss feminism 09:23 - the cons of girl boss feminism 15:52 - girl bosses & politics 19:53 - entrepreneur pressure, manipulation & MLMs

Use that dell money to get yourself a decent computer. Dell has a habit of participating in that whole "Planned obsolescence" movement that tech companies love to peddle. It's like the lulu-lemon-mlm-ey take-advantage-of-your-audience-for-all-theyve-got kinda vibes that dell gives off. I know not to purchase from them from taking into account people's experiences since people are so willing to help on the internet. Also, my friend had his dell for about 2 years when the computer started with it's issues, literally a month or so after the warranty was up. You should be able to expect a lifespan that should be comparable to the investment for the product, yet these companies are pulling the wool over our eyes. Gotta love the US and brittain, always willing to dance with the devil and forgetting all the details. The sponsers are really the only ones who gain in this hellhole of a world.

#drop-the-'boss'baby But seriously, I agree 100%. The distinction is stupid, and while there aren't a lot of female CEOs or major business leaders, I know a lot of women who are in charge.

[@dialiaga]

The whole thing of "quit your job, start a business, become an influencer" is, as you mentioned, leaving out a lot of the privilege these people had, a good following already, inherited wealth, and I'd like to add it's also ableist. Especially here in the US, where access to healthcare is tied to your job, leaving the security of whatever mediocre health insurance a desk job can offer you is just not possible, public options are trash, and some can reject you for your current health condition. I have considered freelancing before, but I couldn't afford private healthcare.

Idk if you’ve done this but I’d be interested to see you talk about the pros and cons of the makeup industry starting to market makeup as “freeing” and how a lot of people have bought into the idea that wearing makeup is just freedom of expression and don’t acknowledge the reality that a lot women feel obligated to wear makeup, whether they realize it or not

[@sandraeskandar7404]

ouuu that's an interesting point, i've heard that apparently women that don't wear makeup get paid less on average/ get treated worse in general

[@naomiyilak7959]

yesss instead of letting women really reflect if they do wanna wear makeup or if there is an underlying insecurity, they just gloss over it by saying oh its a choice. it might be for the people saying it but not for everybody. but i do get it can be a bit polarizing. (sorry for the English, not a native speaker)

[@Megan-wf2yv]

I’ve seen so many tiktoks about this lately and would love an in depth discussion of this idea!!

What I think is funny is that a lot of things that are considered feminine today were not when they first started. Men wore heels first, and I’m pretty sure they also had purses first (for their money cause they didn’t have pockets, Ohmigod that could be why men had pockets first!) last bit off topic, but yeah I’m sure men historically had purses first.

[@user-mz1ub6yd8w]

So excited for this! Something I hate about terms like girl boss are how they encourage respect to only be given to women who hustle and start their own businesses. Men earn high respect no matter their use of time but if we express our interest in makeup, fashion, “girly” movies etc we’re put down and belittled. Not everyone wants to be a ceo - and some of us want to do both!

lol I used to work for a 'girl boss' she would always post about how many young women she hired on social media, and was in magazines talking about being young female CEO, and yet all her sales assistants were paid minimum wage and this was in London. lots of people (me included) were part time because you couldn't afford to live working full time there

The whole "not addressing the root of why there aren't more women there" and instead making room for a few token women hit hard not only in this context but reminding me of why the pipeline in my field is leaky for poc and other underrepresented groups. Like I can see parallels and overlap in the examples you give: are there financial barriers from structural inequity that are prohibitive, is the workplace hostile (even unintentionally), is there flexibility in the approach to work that can accommodate a variety of lifestyles (like I'm really lucky I can take a day off whenever I need but for someone with kids they can't do a lot of the travel that's required).

It really annoys me how people attempt to gloss over women's moral shortcomings in the name of "feminism". Yes, so-and-so female politician is a woman succeeding in one of THE most male-dominated spaces, but... we should still hold her to the same standards we hold other politicians. Women aren't angels just because we're women; we owe it to ourselves and the people around us to try to do good unto others. However, many people take the "we must hold everyone accountable for their actions regardless of sex" argument so far the other way that they just end up bashing female politicians simply because they're women (as we *all* know and have seen before), placing much greater criticism upon their actions while supporting and praising (often white) male politicians who may have done the exact same thing or worse. Women are either seen as perfect angels--sugar, spice, and everything nice, with goodness flowing forth from ye lady bits--or evil b*tches who don't belong in politics because *clearly* this one instance of a female leader being incompetent or cruel proves that government is a *man's* job and that women should stay out of politics. This automatic labelling of women who dare to be powerful as "b*tches" is part of why I feel like we're all so reluctant to criticize female leaders, even when they make transgressions--both minor and major. Yes, they should be held accountable for their actions just as a male politician should, but... we can't ignore that women are often criticized more harshly for behaving in nearly the same way as men. Gosh, it certainly is a struggle! I never know where to begin with topics like this.

To be fair, the Nordic approach to prostitution is based on the assumption that most sex workers are not themselves deciding to sell sex. This is also not an unreasonable assumption since sex trafficking is a HUGE industry. So, I don't agree that 30 minutes of research will tell you that criminalising sex work is bad actually, it is a very complex issue regardless of your moral stance on selling sex.

Wonderful video! Would also like to add how girlboss culture and overall societal pressure to be an entrepreneur is incredibly ableist, as it fits right into the capitalist mindset of people not having value unless they are as productive and efficient as possible. It can make it even harder to have genuine self-worth if you physically or mentally can't keep that up or have to go against what is safe and healthy for you in order to do so.

[@Hannah-mu1uj]

I think girl boss feminism is very tied to the girl power movement that so many of us grew up with in the 90s/2000s. So many young girls were told “you can do anything!” but weren’t encouraged to choose a specific skill or passion. and now we have a situation where so many women think they need to start their own companies to be accomplished, and often these companies have extremely vague goals because being an “entrepreneur” is encouraged more than actually contributing something useful. I always find myself wondering what the end goal of “empowerment” (which has become a marketing term) actually is now

There are examples that shows that decriminalization and legalization of sex work are unfortunately not the solution, look at the Germany case for instance.

Let's stop looking down on people who work a "regular job", a lot of the time I wish I could have their stability.

[@applepi4039]

You should make a video talking about the hispanic feminism. That's just crazy.

Wait I’ve been waiting for the second season of girl boss for nothing

[@annmacam7853]

I love every single one of your videos 🥺🥺 its like you explain my frustrations in a very logical and eloquent way that makes explaining my feeling much more organized!!! Youre one of my all time favorite youtubers!! Ps. I can tell how much work and research you put into your videos 💛💛💛

Interesting points you raise regards Thatcher/Harris, and how reducing people to their gender causes you to gloss over their negative behaviour. This is why I'm hoping we, as a society, can move past all this collectivist nonsense that's dominating culture at the moment. We need to stop evaluating people on surface level characteristics and assigning privilege/virtue points accordingly, and instead look at qualities that actually reflect a person's character. It's a curious pattern I've noticed. Collectivism leads to intersectionality, which ultimately leads to individualism. Hopefully this process can be accelerated in the general zeitgeist but if anything it seems we're moving in the wrong direction.

[@lovelym0xie]

Please do your next video on the good girl trope.

[@carolinex9840]

This video came to me at the perfect time in my life. I’ve been ironically calling every girl that does literally anything a “Girlboss”. It’s made it’s way into my sense of humour yall 😭😭

[@chikne]

ive also heard someone say that girl boss is problematic because it equates success with capitalism another different and interesting way to look at it

[@richardojo8297]
