My sister was talking to to me today - the most likely person to make a face and be perturbed by anything feminism- 'how do I get involved? 'Cos you know... it's all true what they say isn't it.' It just makes me think, as I really couldn't convince her/ her friends myself, there might be something in the air which is enlightening many more girls and women on their on terms (hopefully). Maybe the current sexism is just a little too obvious. (I mean, sport corsets).... I think people will start to see feminism isn't that uncool; and I think defending sexism is losing its edge.

I think people will start to see feminism isn’t that uncool; and I think defending sexism is losing its edge.

It is brilliant. I've just printed it out(shit, will Jill sue for breach of intellectual property rights?) and stuck it on the fridge in yet another subtle attempt to edumacate my 14 year old girl. Cheers. Thanks Jael. It is brilliant.
