What makes media feminist
To me, I believe that media is feminist if it tells women’s stories. I believe that women’s stories are very important, and they rarely get told. In TV and movies, women are often just stuck in stereotypical roles and not part of the story being told. Although I believe that motherhood is very important, I don’t think that it should be the only story being told. I don’t believe that for media to be feminist the creator has to say they are a feminist filmmaker. A film can be feminist without the creator labeling themselves as a feminist. If it tells women’s stories, or avoids stereotyping women into traditional gender roles, or examines race/class/gender, or explores women’s sexuality or desire, etc. I believe that it is feminist. A media maker does not have to call themselves a feminist to make media that is feminist.
