Hi bb’s, anyone looking to change jobs recently?
Hi fishes! I volunteer with The Art of Good, a creative collective helping small businesses affected by the pandemic. They are seeking a little help from a media professional. Need an SEM POV for a small business looking to change their name and relaunch their brand. This is non-paid. More about giving back while in-between gigs. :) If you can help out or want to learn more, please reach out to me via LinkedIN. Thank you!! www.linkedin.com/in/karenkohn/
Totally agree 😁

Hi fishies. I have a ton of interviews coming up soon including a case interview at EY within their Innovation and Experience Design practice for Digital Strategy Manager. I am super comfortable with CX, design thinking, etc which are the types of projects I would be working on BUT I am absolutely terrible in case interviews. I was hoping it would be based on CX or design but my understanding is there is some revenue component idk. Anyone have any insight? I would greatly greatly appreciate it!

Sounds like you are operating off of dubious generalizations
I'm with you OP

Got it. So M1 was correct. Please go read Gloria's wiki page and you'll learn that actually she "wrote the article on female genital mitigation that brought it into the public's consciousness" back in 1979. Your other statements are patently wrong too.
While I can't speak for her, my wife has pretty much said the same thing many times over the last few days. Good for you.
OP is like Donald trump- makes a statement that is obnoxious and opaque that gets a lot of claps and when pressed for details provides inaccurate facts AKA lies.
Thanks for clarifying. Your definition of feminist, unfortunately, is wrong. You're thinking of feminism as a grounded movement rather than a universal concept. If you think women have the same rights and abilities as their male counterparts - and that includes staying at home and playing the traditional wife or mom role - then congratulations, you're a feminist. I've never heard of Womanist, and I welcome a clear definition, but if it's a conscious effort to redefine the expected role of a woman under the facade of a rival to feminism, then I want nothing to do with that.
OP as a feminist sperm donor (at least in your eyes) I'm not responding with personal attacks. But it's interesting you condemn a movement because there isn't recent widespread condemnation of female mutilation or child brides but without acknowledgement of their efforts for equal pay, improved access to health care, and other programs. I don't see a war against stay at home moms but an effort to overemphasize that professional opportunities should equally be an option to women.
Women have the right to make choices, including staying home with their children. Feminists value single mothers over family units. They think that men's value is as a sperm donor, otherwise they are expendable. Has Gloria spoken out against child brides or female genital mutilation? Has she defended any woman under attack whose beliefs don't align hers? I haven't seen it.
That's the point.
Notice how quickly the conversation changed from a discussion of opinions to a personal attack.
*cringe*
@b1 your first post was a broad swipe at me personally and assumptions about my beliefs. Own up to it.
I appreciate your perspective, and I can assure you that young women who choose to stay home do indeed feel like their choice is looked down on by many who think that choice is inferior to working for pay. Being a parent is the toughest job anyone will ever have and being a stay at home parent is tough because feminism has advocated positions that have stigmatized it - whether that was the original intent or not, it is the outcome.
@OP wasn't meaning to take a swipe at you, just tried to guess how you distinguished between feminism and "womanism" which I haven't heard of otherwise. Unfortunately I think many woman feel stigmatized because of the emphasis on championing career oriented women but I don't think there is malice intended. Instead I think it comes from a desire to bring focus to the fact that many women still face subtle but powerful barriers in the workplace that make pursuing that feel like a less viable choice. Unfortunately many would say gender barriers are no longer an issue in the workplace but the numbers show otherwise. Why do you consider this a liberal vs. conservative issue?
Can you elaborate further?
Please define Womanist
I'm guessing OP is inclined toward republican values and rejects connecting feminism with the democratic platform of pro-choice, etc.. Just guessing.
79 was a long time ago - thanks for pointing it out tho.
So, got anything recent, like in this century?
I agree to some extent with @OP - the stay at home demographic is certainly under appreciated in liberal feminist movements. POCs are also belated being included - the challenges white women face are often very different than the rest of us (I'm a male POC). But my previous comment still stands.
