...and social media? In Feminism is for Everybody, bell hooks argues for the importance of a "mass-based educational movement" in enabling a wide range of people to learn about feminist movement and feminist principles. She writes:
Future feminist movement must necessarily think of feminist education as significant in the lives of everyone....By failing to create a mass-based educational movement to teach everyone about feminism we allow mainstream patriarchal mass media to remain the primary place where folks learn about feminism, and most of what they learn is negative. Teaching feminist thought and theory to everyone means that we have to reach beyond the academic and even the written word (24).
More than that, hooks' claim that "mainstream patriarchal mass media's" take on feminism is usually negative. What do you think about that?
