In 2018, my Facebook feed was filled with colorful knit leggings. It seemed like everyone I knew in Iowa was wearing them. Pairing the leggings with loose tunic tops and long chunky jewelry.
I politely went to the parties. After all, how else could I meet friends? But I rarely bought anything. Finally, in 2017, I sat down with a dear friend who had cycled through three MLMs. I told her I couldn’t come to her parties anymore. I’d be happy to hang out with her any time, but no more parties.
But what struck me the most was the language of empowerment that the women used to promote a product that disempowered and bankrupted so many women. Too often, as a culture we let women wink and hide behind the language of feminism, while they undermine its precepts.
