Welcome To The Friday Feminist Salon
Otherwise known as FFS...
So, here is something new for you. Let me introduce to you FFS, the Friday Feminist Salon, brought to you by me,
and .I’ve been admiring these women for a while now and so I thought it would be great to bring us all together to chat about the feminist issues that are floating around in our news at the moment.
We plan to make this a regular meet up because, let’s face it, there’s always going to be a lot of material, and we want you to be a part of this too, whether that is continuing the conversation in the comments below, or suggesting stories or issues you’d like us to delve into.
In future weeks, this will be behind the paywall for full members and we have ambitions to make this a live event that you can all join, but, just to give you an idea of what we’re doing, here is the pre-record for everyone today.
Don’t forget you can upgrade to White Ink here which will mean you don’t miss the next FFS. Upgrading means you can also join me at my dining room table next Monday for my Write With Me Club:
It might be just the four of us at this table today, but pull up a chair and have a listen in and do let us know what you think, as we’d love to continue doing these for you and the only way we’ll know if they work, is if you tell us.
So, this week, you’ve got chats about #not all men, Justin Baldoni and Gisele Pelicot.
But what we want to know is – what are your views on these subjects?
Love the title and what a great venture. Thank you for the introduction to this. I read a book a mother wrote over a decade about about her daughter's abuse by the dad and the crazy journey she had to take to "rescue" her. It was a real story. The length this woman had to go to in order to save her now adult child was insane. But the main point of that book was sort of hidden inside the story and it said why the abuse takes places in the first place is that all the institutions are run by rules that the courts created and they are mainly male dominated as is church and medical and judicial professions. This was her experience and what she was met with when she tried to get support and evidence. All these men backing each other. I didn't know all the details of the Lively vs Baldoni situation so your discussion gave me more insight to the story. As for difficult women.... I think they're assertive and strong, where no else has the guts to do be. All the best with FFS!
Looking forward to watching this develop Anna!
