    Pseudo-Feminism & It’s Impact on Intersectional Feminism

    From the women led parlours of France to the Suffragette and #MeToo movement, feminism has established itself as a structural development advocating for equality of all genders. The focus on uplifting women has been often misconstrued by various factions with critics arguing that the rise of pseudo-feminism is detrimental to all efforts that demand equality. How has pseudo-feminism warped our understanding of feminism? Is modern feminism truly intersectional?

This episode deals with some of the aforementioned major questions with panel members including Abbie Seto (Senior Columnist), Jiayin Zhou (Ambassador), Anna Johnson (Poetry Columnist) and our guest speaker Joseph Liang, a recognised provincial level debate from Canada. Moderated by Vaishu Koduri, administrative supervisor.
