50 Women Share The Unhinged Microfeminisms They Use To Support Women And Annoy Men

Microfeminism can be fun, petty, serious, or even a little chaotic. But how impactful are these small acts in the grand scheme of things?

To find out, Bored Panda reached out to Alex Schudy, known as the Career Queen on TikTok, for her perspective. And in her view, they’re absolutely worth it.

“Microfeminism is a critical part of the larger feminist movement because these actions feel truly realistic for the individual person to tackle—women can use them in their everyday life, daily behaviors, and choices. Over time, I think that these micro-actions compound and create the foundation for broader feminist change,” she told us.

Of course, staying consistently devoted to the feminist cause isn’t always easy. Actively pushing back against the patriarchy, educating yourself and others, and making intentional changes can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s why Schudy encourages finding balance and choosing your battles wisely—and why she believes microfeminism is so useful.

“I think grounding yourself in the fact that even small moments matter is key in the face of criticism. Not every moment requires a full confrontation—sometimes the most powerful microfeminist act is simply supporting someone else, modeling confidence, or refusing to shrink yourself,” she said.

“Plus, one of the most powerful ways to sustain your energy with this movement is surrounding yourself with a community that shares the same values; this helps ensure that you don’t feel alone,” she added.

Schudy also shared how she practices microfeminism in her own life.

“I’ve found that building and portraying my own confidence has been a highly powerful form of microfeminism. On top of that, another that I practice regularly is giving credit to women publicly and intentionally—especially in work settings where women’s contributions are often overlooked,” she revealed.

“I also have intentionally stopped viewing other women as competition in professional settings; instead, my microfeminist act is to foster a community of women to learn and absorb from.”
