The Beating of My Wild Heart | A Critique of Liberal Feminism

This is the video recorded version of an essay that is published on my blog here:

Excerpt from essay and video:

"It’s only recently, since discovering a diversity of feminist theories, that I’ve been able to find resonance with my own understanding and experiences.

Up until this point, I have stayed away from attaching the adjective feminist to my ideas and beliefs because:

a: I have never desired to be emancipated from home, family, and children.

b: I have zero interest in joining “lean in” culture or breaking corporate glass ceilings.

c: I am a deeply spiritual person, and a lot of feminisms are very secular and view the world through a lens I do not share.

I’m going to explore all three of these ideas in this essay, and I’m going to quote Mary Harrington from a video interview she did with The Spectator start the discussion.
