Feminism¶
Literature, 1792
A trendy “I like women” label your boyfriend should adopt because Beyonce made it cool in 2014. Formerly a type of man-hating left-wing extremism derided by academia, business, entertainment, and ordinary people.
Officially, — if you don’t count Bonobos or mud huts — feminism began in 1792 during the French Revolution, with Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman”. In contemporary times, child molester Simone de Beauvoir’s “Second Sex” in 1949, and abuse-fabricator Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique” in 1963 are widely considered to signal the beginning of what we know now as the four waves of Blue Hair & Armpit Hair Freedom.
