“Most of us are fighting for the same things, fighting against the same things.”When Ms. Henry reads about grim news events, she finds herself turning to social media to process her thoughts — an impulse that has also built her following.
Right after reading about the fall of Roe v. Wade, she made a TikTok, liked by more than 300,000 people, in which she cried while reading abortion stories aloud.
“It’s sometimes easier to, well — not put pen to paper, but type out your feelings and articulate them that way,” Ms. Henry said.
Even though they’ve never met you, you know they care about you.”That’s a familiar sentiment to an older generation of feminist writers, who also channeled their grief into blog posts that were funny, fervent and raw.
Members of that generation also know that low points in feminist media can lead to unexpected new beginnings.
