Abstract
Being ‘woman’ in the new millennium is a fraught position. When women’s legal rights of bodily autonomy are being challenged globally, androcentrism remains the cultural norm, and algorithmic culture arguably enables misogyny, the forms through which women (re)present themselves is critical. The #MeToo movement illuminated how the media industry enables gendered abuse as an acceptable, even expected, aspect of creativity; the effects of which continue to ripple into other areas of cultural awareness. Globally, the prevalence of online gendered abuse, transphobia, systemic racism, and institutionalised inequity are being met with resistance, as marginalised people mobilise to effect change. Contemporary Western society is at a juncture.
