351: Hot Takes: Country Club Feminism, The Barbie Movie, Taylor Swift, & More

From Barbie and the Super Models to Beyonce and Taylor, women and the influence they have on culture and the economy are being seen and talked about everywhere.

Since here at Speaking Your Brand we're all about amplifying and championing women's voices and advocating for gender equality, we figured it was time to give our own hot takes.

Along with all the positive gains women have made, we know that there has also been a considerable backlash, both culturally and legally, most noticeably in the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year and in the states that have since passed laws restricting women's reproductive health care rights.

It's easy (and accurate) to blame lawmakers and voters who vocally support such restrictions and want to turn the tide back.

But what about those who do support women yet do so in myopic ways?

That's why I call "country club feminism."

In this episode, Diane Diaz and I talk about:

  • The “rad trad” movement on TikTok and what it means about feminism
  • How we define feminism
  • The Barbie movie, from the visual impact to the satire to the overt feminist message
  • Taylor Swift and the backlash she’s receiving for being a powerful, independent woman as she’s dating an NFL player
  • The new documentary “The Super Models” on AppleTV+ and what it says about female beauty and power
  • What we’re calling “country club feminism”, how it reinforces the status quo, and what to do instead

Clearly, we are using our voices and that’s what we want you to do too!
