Discussion: Feminism 101

Tuesday, July 19, 2016 5:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

There's a lot out there to learn about feminism & so many places to start. Here's one of those places: a guided discussion covering basic facts, common questions, and some definitions relevant to feminism here and now. We intend this discussion to be a space for people who are not or are somewhat familiar with the language and motivations of feminism. We encourage you to bring an open mind and lots of questions. Everyone is welcome!

Food will be provided. If you have dietary or accessibility concerns, please contact us at femphys@gmail.com. This discussion will be conducted in English.

This event falls under FemPhys' Code of Conduct.

Note on the facilitator and the content:
Emma McKay has been working with FemPhys for (almost) two years. She is a white queer woman who manages anxiety and depression. She will introduce the ideas of patriarchy, the gender binary, popular feminism (and one or two issues with it), "reverse sexism", intersectionality, and courses of action.
