In this moment where we are talking about how "woke" is supposedly over, how feminism supposedly destroyed the workplace, and Muslim women are once again in the news, it's a good time to talk about Faux Feminism. My interview with the @thedissenteryt.bsky.social is up!

Honored to be one of @thedissenteryt.bsky.social 's fave books of 2025 and looking forward to participating in the pod in 2026!

Chatted about the connections between care feminism, colonialism, and capitalism in with the wonderful @elissastrauss.bsky.social elissa.substack.com/p/the-interv...
there's mean like "rude comments" mean and there's mean like "Palmer raids" mean

Especially for someone who was such a huge fan of *other* hypothetical persons
A breakthrough for gender equality? Not even! @serenekhader.bsky.social would correctly identify the stunt as girlboss feminism. This time, it’s dressed up in matching blue onesies and a jaunt beyond the stratosphere but still caters only to the 1%. Miss me with that mess.
The decision on Mahmoud Khalil today will reveal whether we live in a system where authorities can decide what speech is acceptable and condemn people on that basis.
We all must pay attention.
They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.
The article I'm talking about is this one by @lopezcantero.bsky.social and @bexmillar.bsky.social
From a history of elite feminist activism, there’s this idea that we’re going to do what helps elite women and it’s going to trickle down. Like @serenekhader.bsky.social tells @drcaromaldo.bsky.social, we know that doesn’t work. @muthamagazine.bsky.social

Back in the day, another SB grad student used to sing me this song as "Serene," so every time I hear it I'm back in the Harriman offices

I got to speak with @drcaromaldo.bsky.social at Mutha magazine about our shared commitment to treating women of color as theorists--and made a cool new local friend along the way! Yes, philosophy and feminism are for everyone <3
These books by @imaniperry.bsky.social, @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social, @serenekhader.bsky.social, @cherylneely.bsky.social, and others highlight how women have educated and inspired generations. They’re a shout-out to women writers because writing educates and inspires. #WomensHistoryMonth
