In this brief, awe-inspiring talk, Tavi discusses the contradictions on what exactly a woman should be which girls struggle with on a daily basis. Drawing on examples from pop culture and her own blog, Tavi Gevinson touches upon the issue "rules" that girls are taught from a young age, like that you can't be a feminist and a fashion enthusiast.
