Metafeminism: An examination of five common pitfalls of feminist discourse by Catia Faria, philosopher and activist

(i) What is feminism? (ii) What is feminism for? (iii) How should feminism be done? I don’t have a definite answer. Yet, in this talk I will identify what I see as 5 common pitfalls (traps) we easily fall prey of in feminist discourse and argue that by overcoming them, whatever our views on (i) and (ii), with regards to (iii) some paths are clearly better than others.
