#62 Full-Time Social Awareness (24/7/52)


Listen Later

Is being queer and socially aware a full-time dedication? Like, literally full time? Are we letting the cause down if we watch a few movies that don't pass the Bechdel Test? Is it up to us to quash every project that doesn't fulfil our queer and feminist needs, or can we sometimes just let the world to get on with it? In short, do we need to be the perfect queer citizen and activist, and what will that do for how we and others see us?
