Deep dives

Personal Journey to Feminism

Natasha Chart shares her transition to feminism, rooted in her upbringing as a Jehovah's Witness. After leaving this conservative environment, she faced various abusive relationships, prompting her to seek a deeper understanding of her experiences through feminist analysis. Initially, she was exposed to the idea that feminism was no longer needed, but she gradually recognized ongoing issues related to sexism, particularly in liberal political spaces. This realization led her to identify as a radical feminist, concerned by the emerging arguments that mirrored men's rights discourse and overlooked the struggles of women, especially those in lesbian communities.
