Listen "Why the #FreeBritney Movement Initially Failed Intersectional Feminists"

Episode Synopsis

When we treat what happened to Britney Spears as a singular experience we erase women of color and other marginalized groups who have had the same experience. In this episode, we talk about how the #FreeBritney movement (when it first began) failed intersectional feminism, and how we need to use this movement as a way to amplify the voices of those who don't have Britney's platform. Note: We are Britney fans! and this is not a critique of her or her experiences.ResourcesWhat Britney Spears has endured would not have happened to a male starBritney Spears’ conservatorship mirrors reality for millions with disability“My Human Rights are Being Violated”: Fighting a Family ConservatorshipGuardian abuse is nothing new for vulnerable people of color.
