Have you ever heard the phrase, the personal is political?
It’s a feminist slogan that first appeared in 1969 and remains one of the most popular feminist catchphrases to this day.
But what does it really mean? And how does it relate to each of our life, as we live it today?
A few years ago, back when I was a teenager, I was walking in one of those beauty product exhibitions, and a man jumped out of nowhere, telling me that he has a product that can whiten my skin color! It was summer, and I was really happy with my dark tan. I told him to bug off because I love my color and I am going to keep it for good, so no thank you. I was about 12 and after that I don’t remember encountering any stupid invention as such until…. well, few days ago!
