Author and former Globe columnist Elizabeth Renzetti speaks with Robyn Doolittle about the state of feminism in 2024
Am a bad feminist if I get Botox? Are Canadians too complacent about our abortion freedoms? Why does it feel like we’re backsliding when it comes to issues of equality?
I wanted to write it because we’re farther from gender equality than we think we are, especially for certain groups of women. And on top of that women’s rights are being rolled back around the world.Perfect segue to my next question: we’re a few years out from #MeToo. After a bunch of initial gains, it really feels like there has been a backlash in the culture.documented this.
It does seem like a little bit of a paradox, doesn’t it? But there is no alternative except that we move toward equality for all people and that is across economic lines, racial lines, and gender lines. It is non-negotiable. Each chapter in the book tackles a different issue that women are facing and one of the ones that really resonated with me – I just turned 40 – dealt with aging and vanity. I’m a feminist and I want to embrace aging, but I spend all this money on creams and serums trying to look young. I feel like a hypocrite.
