- FemFuture was a movement started by feminist activists, Courtney Martin and Vanessa Valenti. #FemFuture sought to pay women responsible for acts of feminism throughout the online community. Martin and Valenti wrote, “An unfunded online feminist movement isn’t merely a threat to the livelihood of these hard-working activists, but a threat to the larger feminist movement itself.”
This movement ultimately received a lot of criticism and backlash – and much of it came from women around the world. A lot of the feedback included disappointment in the fact that certain groups of women seemed to be left out of the conversation. Due to the mass amounts of negativity surrounding this paper, the results were counterproductive to the initial goal.
