Channing Baker, a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate now working at Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, is worried about women’s rights under President Donald J. Trump. That’s why she co-founded the Santa Cruz Feminist Society in December. Women need a forum to discuss ideas, she says. The group’s first topic was the “tradwife” – women who spend their days taking care of homes and families and document their lives on social media. “When I first committed to UCSC, I imagined a progressive utopia,” Baker writes. “But in my four years, I found a resurgence of traditionalism even among some of my closest friends.” The group is holding regular meetings and she invites those interested to connect.
