Is Feminism a Movement Just for Women – Or Is It About All Forms of Oppression?

It can be confusing when people use the word feminism to refer to two different things.

There’s the idea of feminism as focusing on women’s liberation, and then there’s feminism as a broader movement to end all kinds of oppression.

Celia Edell sets out to answer these questions in her latest video, and she’s got some important reminders about why the term feminism matters.
