    a foundational feminist writer.

    TIL feminism started some 100 years after it actually started… Pretty sure its foundation was in the late 1800s, with it picking up steam in the early 1900s. Bell Hooks was born in the 1950s.

    Foundational my ass.

      Brother are you coming a month after the conversation died down to argue semantics over the word “foundational” as a gotcha? I’m not saying she invented feminism I am saying she is a foundation to our modern understanding of feminism.

      It’s real weird to get uppity about that specific terminology. I’m not writing an essay, I’m talking to people with the intention that my words be taken in good faith, not foolproof Grammer and word choice.
