We often talk about the phenomenon of girlboss feminism and how empty it is. However, i feel that we on the left often dismiss how insidious this type of neoliberal feminism is while certain men can see it as an excuse to engage in misogyny while dismissing feminist analysis as a whole. This video tracks the emergence of capitalist patriarchy, its entanglement with whiteness and coloniality, and how the neoliberal feminism of the girlboss reinforces this patriarchy rather than challenges it. Instead, I argue for a feminism which centres class, race and gender. One which takes as its centre that overturning patriarchy isn't a matter of greater representation in the halls of corporate and political power but of overturning those structures entirely
