If you’re here, you are probably interested in the issue of sexism, which is great! Things don’t change unless people step up to help. However before you call yourself a true activist, think about what you are doing for the other just-as-important fights for justice there are in the world. Racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, transphobia, ablism, and many others are extremely important issues that must be fought for as well. If you don’t stand up for the other oppressed groups, you are not a true activist.
Think about it this way. You’re fighting for equality of all human beings, right? Why should anyone listen to you standing up for your ideals if you wouldn’t think another group needs to be listened to?
The great thing about fighting for social justice is that when people originally from different causes band together to support each other, a lot more gets done. You end up with more people on the same team, instead of many smaller teams which have no reason to fight against one another in the first place.

The definition of “identity politics” according to Merriam-Webster is “politics in which groups of people having a particular racial, religious, ethnic, social,…
“Likability” as a feminist issue
If you’re a listener of my podcast, you are probably familiar with the book Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay (a book I’ve been reading, with many parts that I have found fascinating and eye-opening). In one chapter, she deconstructs the sexism behind our perception of “likability” in a person. I know– this is not something…
