Too Feminist, Not Feminist Enough (Co-Presenter with Sara Peters)
Conversations surrounding sexism can be complicated and often contentious depending
on the lenses through which participants view the topic. There is, however, common
ground in understanding that treating all people as fully human is necessary to create
an equitable work environment. This session will provide insight into how sexism has
a pervasive impact on women’s lives which can and should be addressed by well-meaning
people of all genders. The conversation will be led through the perspective of one
facilitator who is often believed to be “too feminist” and one who is considered “not
feminist enough." By addressing these issues through these diverse viewpoints, commonalities
can be explored and solutions discussed.
