Stickers, soap and legal help: the rise of Mexico City’s ‘feminist markets’
In Mexico City, feminist markets known as 'mercaditas feministas' have emerged as both a commercial and political movement, advocating for women's rights and economic independence. These markets, which began as a Facebook group in 2016, have grown into a support network offering goods, services, and legal assistance, particularly for survivors of violence. Amidst Mexico's high femicide rates and gender inequality, these markets provide a platform for women to sustain themselves and challenge societal norms. Despite facing challenges such as police harassment, the markets have gained local recognition for their positive impact on the community.

The New Pink Economy: Does Feminism Sell?
The article explores the intersection of feminism and capitalism, questioning whether feminist values can coexist with commercial success. It discusses the concept of 'feminist capitalism' and whether it is an oxymoron or a viable strategy for achieving gender equity. The piece examines the impact of cultural products with feminist messaging, such as the Barbie movie, and the role of women and gender-diverse individuals in professional niches and organizations working towards gender equity. It also highlights the economic influence of female celebrities like Taylor Swift and Beyonce, whose success has had significant commercial impact. The article debates the moral dilemma of consuming feminist-branded products and the potential for activism within capitalist structures, ultimately questioning whether feminist activism can be transformative or if it risks being co-opted by the system it aims to critique.

WONDER WOMAN
The review of 'Wonder Woman' by Antonio Latella and Federico Bellini highlights the post-dramatic nature of the performance, focusing on semantic organization over syntax. The play features four young actresses delivering a powerful critique of societal and judicial failures, particularly in cases of sexual violence. The performance evolves into a symbolic and performative protest against social scripts, culminating in a feminist outcry. The production is noted for its intense and raw delivery, devoid of grotesque elements, and is described as a humanitarian prayer rather than a mere spectacle.

The return of 2010s feminism
The article critiques the resurgence of a simplified form of feminism reminiscent of the early 2010s, characterized by hashtag-friendly and superficial solutions to deep-rooted misogyny. It argues that this trend, while palatable to mainstream audiences, fails to address the underlying social structures and results in cyclical debates without meaningful progress. The piece highlights the need for nuanced and radical change to achieve genuine gender equality, warning against the regressive nature of revisiting outdated feminist arguments.

As 4B takes the world by storm, South Korea is grappling with a backlash against feminism
The 4B movement, a South Korean feminist initiative advocating the rejection of marriage, childbirth, dating, and sex, has gained international attention, particularly in the US following Donald Trump's election victory. While it is seen as a revolutionary women's rights movement globally, within South Korea, it faces significant backlash. The movement highlights the country's gender pay gap and societal challenges, but its radical nature has led to increased societal divisions. President Yoon Suk Yeol's anti-feminist stance has further fueled tensions.

Korean skincare faces a feminist revolution
In South Korea, a feminist movement is challenging traditional beauty standards, which are deeply rooted in a patriarchal society. Young women are increasingly rejecting societal pressures to conform to rigid beauty ideals, such as wearing makeup and undergoing cosmetic procedures. This shift is part of broader social changes, including the 'Escape the Corset' and '4B' movements, which advocate for independence from traditional gender roles. As a result, there is a decline in skincare sales among local women, who are opting for wellness products instead. The movement is gaining momentum, although existing power structures continue to resist change.
