"Feminism is for everybody"
Isn't it nice to know? Feminism is for everybody. Even for kids! My food metaphors for today are: Faux lip-service feminism is kinda like the snack of stale graham crackers served (again) at an overly boy-centric poor excuse of a daycare. Whereas healthy, empowering feminism is like warm, deliciously-scented gingerbread that everyone gets the fun of participating in the making of--mixing, rolling the dough, and cutting the cookies into decorative shapes--at a happy babysitter's house. I feel that's a cheerful thought, to combat the thought I had recently, which is that the poster messengers I met the other day would, unfortunately, be very disappointed. Sigh.
