Analyzing sexism through female celebrities is a catnip pedagogical method: it takes a beloved cultural pastime (calculating the exact worth of a woman) and lends it progressive political import.
“Oliver Burkeman's concept of "strategic underachievement" is a key idea in his book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. This concept challenges the idea of striving for excellence in every aspect of life and the idea that everything can be achieved with proper time management.”
But reinscribing feminism as something you dress in or consume, rather than something you do, accomplishes nothing—not for you as an individual, and not for how women as a whole are viewed, valued, and validated in this culture.
