Document Summary

Riot grrrl & "zine culture (bust, jigsaw, bitch) "we need to find and make girl-friendly places in the mass media. Modern feminism: black feminism: argues that racial and gender equality cannot be separated and uses. ); tries to be a "catch all" of the above types of feminism and advocate for intersectionality on a large scale: all are grounded in intersectionality. Intersectionality in modern magazine covers: teen vogue, bust, bitch. "to tell a teenager that she should stick to lip gloss -- when she"s being directly impacted by policies affecting her lifestyle and the lifestyle of those around her -- is frankly irresponsible. " Intent: celebrates daily lives of fashion forward muslim women, designed for a non-muslim audience. Criticisms: hijab as "swag," heteronormative imagery, objectification, normalizing wealth and materialism, not every muslim girl"s narrative. Defenses: nothing wrong with being "too" american, makes muslim american women seem like average american women, "islam needs mipsterz"
