Feminism, football and one teenage girl's attempts to “fight the power”
Submitted by Flowerpower on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 11:10amThe teenage girl at the centre of the St Kilda football club sex and photos scandal is emerging as an unlikely feminist warrior in our supposedly “post-feminist” world. This young girl is bravely refusing to accept the labels of “slut” or “victim” and is instead ferociously trying to hold the St Kilda football club and the AFL to account in footballer's treatment of young women. Most importantly, she is refusing to be silenced. Her latest efforts included crashing a St Kilda club training session , putting up posters and handing out fliers including one proclaiming “Fight the Power”.
