But for now...
International Women’s Day is about as politically dangerous as St Patrick’s Day these days. No longer is it about securing the real political change that women need; instead we are informed of the UN’s flagship project to encourage niceness towards women and we are treated to platitudes about sisterhood from famous feminist figures. Markle’s celebration of ‘things you can do to be nice to women’ is not just banal – it is indicative of a broader shift in feminist politics. Women aren’t supposed to be interested in ideas that challenge the status quo. Instead we should just let ourselves feel inspired by celebrities.
Of course her idea about the "status quo" is "not enough babies are getting murdered by their mothers"...
