‘Hello ladies and sons of ladies’: women are using ‘microfeminisms’ to flip the gender script
In the local area, some women are using small actions to challenge traditional gender norms. This practice, referred to as "microfeminisms," involves making intentional choices in everyday life to promote women's equality. For example, one woman puts the woman's name first in greetings when writing to a heterosexual couple. These actions are not meant to be a form of activism, but rather a way to raise awareness of sexist tropes in everyday life. A Seattle-based author and podcast host has discussed this topic on social media, asking her followers to share their own examples of microfeminisms. Further details on this practice and how it is being used in the local area are available from the source.
