Feminists Don’t Wear Pink Scarlett Curtis

I stumbled on Scarlett’s Series a few weeks ago after joining a local women’s organisation as a volunteer. Asked during my interview what my understanding of feminism was and I’m embarrassed to say, I hadn’t ever really thought about it. Since that day I’ve immersed myself in anything feminist and anything woman and can confidently say, “ I am a feminist”. Scarlett’s interviews are interesting, accessible, down to earth and highlight that feminism is for all, bringing down the myths. I have listened to every episode and felt every emotion. Truly enjoyed them all... super amazing guests.

Love this, I binge listened to it over last few days. Scarlett Curtis is such a great speaker with an incredibly important message, delivered in a very personable way. It’s not just for women, I am a man and believe that much of the charm is how accessible the subject matter is. Each episode is raw, honest and thoughtful but the reason why I wrote the review is that above all, its inspiring

Very disappointed with this podcast. I find Scarlett to just agree along with the guests even when they are out of line. Horrified that Chidera Eggerue was given an episode after tweeting ‘If men are committing s*icide because they can’t cry, how’s it my concern?’ In response to the male suicide epidemic.
I find this type of ‘feminism’ horrific and dangerous. Chidera suggested that pairing with a wealthier partner so she doesn’t have to be a ‘mule’ is the way forward as, as a black woman she doesn’t have equal opportunity. This irritates me so much! Why should we lean on a partner to be the ‘mule’? Shouldn’t we be urging all women to be independent or go for whatever jobs they want? This is 2019!
