Why Your Feminist T-Shirt Is Problematic ♀

Are fast fashion t-shirts promoting feminism aligned with true feminist values? Or perhaps is the cheap price tag based on an entire system of exploitation of factory workers where most of them are women? In today’s video I explain why a feminist tshirt from H&M, Zara, Forever 21, Asos, Primark, Topshop and any other fast fashion store is very problematic.
