Growing up, we used to sit around the dinner table or in the living room and I remember discussing the monumental and fundamental ways in which women's lives had changed and become empowered. From my grandmothers down to myself. I don't recall a sense of outrage nor indignation. There definitely wasn't a sense of complacency by any means. A willingness to listen, truly listen is necessary when wanting to express opinion as it's fundamental in debate.
Why does that feel so lost when out watching media/social media?
Had a friend describe it as the "trophy effect" of a generation. She's a strong woman herself who has done so much on a local level.
