Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Afraid to Ask

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Afraid to Ask
Article by Rachel Fudge, appeared in issue Anniversary; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged anti-porn, ERA, feminazi, NOW, pro-sex, radical feminism, riot grrrl, second wave, third wave, womanism.

It should be a joyful, tender, and esteem-building part of life, not a source of confusion or shame.
