The MeToo movement significantly influenced young women's political perspectives by creating a sense of shared identity and concern.

“one of the things we heard from these young women again and again was how formative that experience was you know growing up and sort of seeing this happen in real time uh uh there there I think was a source of like uh we're in this together”

Women are frequently discouraged from outdoor activities due to pervasive and toxic societal narratives that frame aging as a period of inevitable decline and fragility.

“and the messages are basically that we you know on the road to physical decline definitely cognitively you know on our way to being pretty shaky and we should probably narrow Our Lives watch our bones and certainly the uncertainty of the outdoors is too dangerous for us”
