Is adland’s brand of feminism helpful?
Highlighting ‘harmless’ language has consequences
Shows skill should be more important than gender
Points out practical changes you can make
Affinity with characters, and awesome role models
Aren’t you just trying to flog me sanitary towels etc?
I’m not allowed to apologise now?
So glad men will still hug me in bed though!
Did I need permission to defy convention?
My own words are the root of inequality?

Brands’ feminism is flawed, like Beyoncé

Do Beyoncé’s feminist flaws matter?

Dispute the methods… but REACH
“A word with a complicated history reclaimed by the most powerful celebrity in the world. And then she projected it — along with its definition […], into the homes of 12 million unassuming Americans. Beyoncé would become the subject of two-thirds of all tweets about feminism in the 24 hours after her appearance….
“No, you don’t have to like the way Beyoncé writhes around in that leotard […] but whether you like it or not, she’s
accomplished what feminists have long struggled to do: She’s reached the masses. “Sure, it’s just the VMAs,” says
[Jennifer] Pozner. “… through her performance millions of mainstream music fans are being challenged to think about
feminism as something powerful, important, and yes, attractive.”

Flawed, but fantastic
Global brands might be jumping on the feminism bandwagon, with cynical ‘women’s messaging’ ad campaigns flogging
female products, using debatable definitions of feminism and solutions we might not like…
!… But you cannot argue with reach. That brands are putting
significant budget behind these campaigns means more opportunities for non-feminists eyes to be opened to how gender
roles shape society, and disadvantage men and women. !
Whether it’s brands or Beyoncé embracing feminism, it can only be a good thing. !
!Their voices plus our voices multiplied by the unstoppable force
of social media mean that feminism is BACK, in a big way.
