O tym odcinku

To all our female listeners: have you ever been a victim of misogyny in the workplace? Sadly, the chances are you have, given that a 2022 survey by recruitment agency Randstad found that 72% of women have “encountered inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues”, while 67% had experienced some form of gender discrimination. But there are some simple everyday actions that can help us to counter sexism at work, and social media has recently been rife with discussion of these so-called micro-feminist acts. So the trend really began taking off when American producer and host Ashley Chaney posted a clip on Tiktok in late March 2024, talking about a couple of her own favourite examples of microfeminism. What kind of actions are we talking about? How did microfeminism come to be so popular on TikTok? What’s the point of microfeminism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
