Redefining Gendered Labels
Men, and sometimes fellow women, often shut us down with gendered labels. The women in this video have been accused of being too ‘emotional’ when they simply cared; of being a ‘diva’ when standing their ground; of being too ‘loud’ when sharing their opinions. From athletes who have been described as too ‘muscular’ to women who have been taught that their bodily fluids are ‘unclean’, this video takes common sexist phrases and redefines them as empowering words for women.
