I love this so much. I mean, I nearly didn’t. I was red faced, angry huffing until I got to the good stuff.
Thank you.
These stereotypes are not only damaging to the movement, but completely against most feminist logic. I’m always preaching that feminism should be about embracing the most true version of “you.” You delivered this message with a one-two kick to the throat.
I’m a feminist. I watch ridiculous chick flicks and Outlander. I yearn to be the bad ass with the Kill Bill sword. I scream about normalizing menses and the wage gap, reproductive rights and embracing our transgender sisters, then go home to my beautiful kids and watch some Disney Princess. I’ve never worn a beehive. I can’t do fucking winged liner. I certainly don’t hate men.
Well. Aside from Texan politicians.
I’m in the club. And I bring the sweet tea, cookies, and broadswords.
