How to Win at Feminism

here’s a sample guide to what is and isn’t feminist.

Some say feminism is more a theory, but we like to think of it as a label that can be slapped onto or removed from anything we choose.

Your body, your decision, your uterus!

and have deep wombversations.

SHOPAHOL-ETTE: Not an addict (see also: not-guilty pleashers). Example: “I’m a shopahol-ette. I just bought eleven copies of the Reductress book for my friends, and I do not feel guilty about that.”

PATRIARCH-D: That big ol’ sweet, sweet D that keeps you enslaved to the patriarchy.

MALE GAYZE: That judgy yet supportive look you get from your gay best friend, who would never objectify you, but will definitely tell you how your boobs look in that V-neck romper.

Example: “Yes, I’m a housewife, but I prefer the term ‘stay-at-home bitch,’ thank you very much.”

GENDER STUPIDITY: The completely boneheaded ideas some people have about gender. Examples: “Men are better than women.” “Quilting your feelings is women’s work.”

ADVISE-HER: Your role as a feminist, should you choose to take it. From now on, you’ll be advising your female friends at every turn. Think of yourself as a life coach and image consultant combined!
