I feel like the adoption of internet shallow-corpo-feminism speak into popular media might be part of why so many teenagers seem to think that no one was fighting inequality until 3 years ago. like if you believe, truly believe, that equality is about Saying The Right Things and Looking The Right Way instead of like, a set of principles, then of course it’s going to be impossible for you to recognize feminism that doesn’t look exactly like the current trendy/profitable strain
