feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
The feminist episode of 2024's 'Good Times'
Netflix took a chance to create a spin-off of 1974's beloved sitcom, Good Times. This 2024 series created by Stephen Curry, Seth MacFarlane and Norman Lear is called the same name or "Good Times: Black Again" according to the title sequence. Instead of James, Florida, James Junior, Thelma, and Michael, we get Reggie, Beverly, Junior, Grey, and Dalvin. Reggie is James Evans's grandson and the series explores the Evans descendants through a modern adult comedy series. There are 10 episodes and in the 3rd episode called "Grey's Anatomy", they explore feminism. In this 3rd episode, Grey (Marsai Martin)gets her first period and it's a big deal. Her mother, Beverly(Yvette Nicole Brown) is anxious about what this means in Grey's life as this marks the beginning of her adulthood. She informs Grey of what she can expect now while making her opinion of tampons known. Grey mentions the white girls in commercials saying it makes you feel like you don't have a period but Beverly believes tampons are a gateway to other activities and exploration. She wants to prevent Grey from sexual curiosity at a young age as her mother did for her.

Feminism Has Lost Her Identity
Ladies and Gentlemen....welcome to my unpopular opinion.... again. I remember learning about the women's rights movement in school. I remember not understanding how the world had come to the conclusion that women were not equal to men, and why women had to fight for the right to work in the first place.

Day 21 of My 40 Day Fast: Women Can Remove Disease From the Bloodline
I was diagnosed with a Ulcerative Proctitis in 2016. I am not a doctor and was clueless about health and how the body worked. I found my gastroenterologist of little help, and was forced to do my own research. I quickly learned I was faced with losing part or all of my colon.
