1/ Something I’ve been thinking a lot about - even though we’ve lost abortion in the last year, feminism as a political force feels like it has less cultural impact that at any point in my lifetime.
After Trump. After #metoo. It’s just not a central part of the conversation.

2/ If we’re serious about making this a better world for women, I think it’s worth asking why?
I think somewhere in the last 10 years, feminism became more about having the right public opinions instead of trying to pass policy to meaningfully impact women’s lives.

3/ I also don’t think we engaged the public very constructively. And just being honest, I feel I played a role in that.
I think it’s really important we reassess what we’re doing from here, make changes and push forward.

4/ I would propose that feminism needs to have a laser focus on policy and bringing together coalitions.
It’s important work. I genuinely think this is the most dangerous moment for women in my lifetime. I don’t know who else is gonna fight for us if it’s not us.
