People share 25 subtle feminist power moves they do on the regular
TikTok user Molly Barrie kicked things off by sharing the not-so-obvious way in which she fights gender norms in her profession.
TikTok user Molly Barrie started an inspiring and ingenious internet trend earlier this year when she posted a video inviting people to share the "subtle feminist power moves" they've incorporated into their daily lives. In the now-viral video, Barrie kicked things off by sharing the not-so-obvious way in which she fights gender norms in her profession. "Every time I create a signing session for any of my married couples buying or selling their house, I always make the wife the first signer," she revealed. Soon, several fellow TikTok users jumped onto the bandwagon, sharing their secret feminist practices that are silently making a difference in today's patriarchal society.

Emily Tangerine was one of those who responded to Barrie's video. "I came across this trend on my 'For You' page," she told Bored Panda. "I follow a ton of women who are comedians and professionals in their respective fields and activists. So this prompt was surely going to come my way." Speaking of misogyny in today's society, Tangerine said: "I'd say the most oppressive force of it that is visible is the legislation that directly targets women (but will surely affect those who don’t identify as female but have a uterus) and somehow it doesn't affect men. Like the Texas abortion ban. There is currently no legislation against men's bodies, yet we all know it takes two to tango."
However, Tangerine said she sees women's lives improving as the older generation of misogynistic men fades into oblivion. "I see more and more women enrolling in college and that's going to help the situation. And I see more and more women stand up for themselves in social situations. I stood up to my old male professor just this Friday. Women aren't allowing men to treat them like dog shit anymore and that eventually leads to legislation. Heck, we might even get one more woman on the Supreme Court," she said.
