Feminists in the media

I've just been interviewed by a PhD student researching women's experiences of working in the media. She told me that many of the young women she has interviewed, especially those working on women's magazines, don't believe in feminism. Apparently women working in newspapers and women with children are more likely to call themselves feminists.

It makes me really sad to know I'm in the minority as a 20-something journalist and feminist. A lot of women my age seem to believe feminism is dead, or some kind of Spice Girls 'girl power' thing connected to going pole dancing, which is just depressing.
