She defines choice feminism and explains its limitations when advocating for the collective liberation of women from the patriarchy. Kate analyzes the increased normalization of cosmetic surgery and what this tells us about beauty standards in the digital era. Tune in to understand why the online discourse around botox or filler can feel so unproductive when we're stuck discussing individual choices.
