The State of Feminism, Part 1

The Georgia Politics Podcast

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today’s show, we discuss the state of the feminism movement, what it has accomplished, where it has fell short, and where in the wake of Kamala Harris’s defeat this month – where it goes from here.

We've gathered an exceptional panel of guests to join Craig in discussing this topic. Daelen Lowry makes her highly anticipated return to the show, joined by Janelle King, host of The Janelle King Show and a member of the state election board; Dominique Deming, a soon-to-be-ordained Episcopal priest; and Dr. Kathryn Turman, currently a teacher at the Atlanta International School.

Feminism is a movement advocating for gender equality. It continues to evolve, reflecting diverse global challenges. In recent years, intersectional feminism has gained prominence, addressing the interconnectedness of gender with race, class, and sexuality. While significant strides have been made, such as improved access to education and workplace equity, systemic issues persist, including gender-based violence and wage gaps.

Social media has amplified feminist voices, fostering activism and awareness, yet it also exposes backlash and polarization. Emerging feminist discourses emphasize inclusivity and challenge traditional norms, striving for a world where equality transcends boundaries and every individual can thrive without gender-based constraints.
