The Top 15 Feminist Moments of 2015
Ah, 2015. The year feminist declarations were too many to count, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ruled the Supreme Court (and our hearts), Hollywood sexism came under fire, feminist films filled the big screen and so much more.
In no particular order, check out 15 of the best feminist moments of 2015!
1. The White House battled sexual assault with a powerful PSA.
The star-studded video about consent marked the one-year anniversary of the It’s On Us campaign.
2. The U.S. opened up all military combat roles to women.
Women had served in combat positions for years, but were prevented from receiving the titles and promotions associated with those roles. Finally, service women stopped being excluded.
3. Cecile Richards owned a Congressional hearing aimed at taking down Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood’s president was the definition of grace under fire during a Congressional hearing into now-debunked videos meant to smear the reproductive healthcare provider.
4. The tech industry took the lead on parental leave.
First it was Google, then Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, PayPal and others began offering broad parental leave policies for women and men.
