About

Is femininity confining or empowering? Are traditionally feminine qualities only useful as lubricants for social bonds, to catch a lover or to raise a family? What is femininity now and how can we use it? These questions and more have come to the fore due to the upsurge in feminist activism following the election of Donald Trump and the accusations against Harvey Weinstein. Such activism succeeded at forcing the Merriam-Webster dictionary to change the definition of femininity. It had previously included the following example of how to use the term in a sentence: "She managed to become a female CEO without sacrificing her femininity." This episode of The 0 Show therefore aims to continue the process of radicalism and re-definition. To this end, it features a panel of guests who relish in their femininity while stretching its boundaries, including: the erotic entrepreneur and activist Sam Roddick; cultural producer and writer Chardine Taylor-Stone; the performance artist Nanda Messias; and founder of The Voice of Domestic Workers, Marissa Begonia.
