Introducing
The F Word
Our first capsule is called The F Word.
In The F Word, we trace how the meaning of feminism has shifted over time - across cultures, movements, identities. From anti-feminist women to TikTok aesthetics, from academic theory to real-world resistance, this capsule explores the distance between the label and the lived experience.
It’s not about reclaiming feminism for the sake of it. We set out to name the friction and fatigue of this word. Through essays, interviews, art and poetry, we behin our first transmission with one of the most misunderstood signals of them all.
‘Them’ - a Poem
“Them” was written in response to a moment many women know too well: sitting in rooms where your silence isn’t noticed, and your voice, when it does surface, is filtered through the lens of someone else’s authority. It’s tired and it happens daily to too many of us.
This poem threads together quiet frustration that many of us experience, asking:
What happens when even your capability must be announced by someone else?
