How The Word "Influencer" Became a Gendered Insult

All Of It

About this episode

After a small business in Nantucket posted a “no influencers” sign in its store, some creators accused those with anti-influencer sentiments of sexism. Culture journalist Kat Tenbarge explores how the term “influencer” has long been used to belittle and dismiss women creators, and why male creators often avoid the same scrutiny.
