Hi Barbie! Are we in our Girlhood era? 🎀 Pop culture’s new wave of feminism

First, we wore pink for Barbie. Then, we swapped friendship bracelets at the Eras Tour. Now, everything is girl—girl math, girl dinner, girl trends. But is this the best thing to happen to feminism, or are we just turning it into an aesthetic? Is this an awakening for girls around the world, or another source of marketable content? In this episode, we break down how Greta Gerwig’s success, TikTok’s obsession with girlhood, the ever-growing female communities formed through fandoms & fan practices, as well as the backlash against Wicked, reveal both the power and the pitfalls of digital feminism. From reclaiming girlhood to the rise of girl-coded everything, we’re asking: Are we actually in our feminism era? --- Follow Sumi and Sheyda on socials!: You can find Someone in the Crowd on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and follow Sumi and Sheyda on their personal accounts for more behind-the-scenes fun and updates: Sumi on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and Sheyda on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
