Bogan Feminism

One thing traditional bogan imagery gets wrong is its obsession with men. There is a substantial female bogan archetype.
Think:
- big sunglasses;
- leggings;
- fake tan;
- enormous handbags;
- acrylic nails;
- blonde hair;
- leopard print;
- footy;
- reality television;
- loud confidence;
- highly developed bullshit detection.
And there is currently an interesting cultural revival around “sheila”, with commentators describing a contemporary “bogan feminism” that reclaims toughness, Australianness and working-class identity.
The sheila is returning to Australian culture, riding on a new wave of ‘bogan feminism’
