feminism - 2025 ACF Fall

Tossup

Sara Ahmed tells members of this movement (10[1])to bring it up in daily life and act as “killjoys.” (10[3])An essay (10[1])by Roxane Gay asks (10[1])whether enjoying rap (10[1])makes (10[1])her (10[1])a “bad” (10[2])member (10[3])of (10[1])this (10[5])movement. (10[25]-5[1])Members (10[4])of (10[1])this (10[1])movement (10[4])published (10[2])the Combahee River (10[1])Collective Statement, (10[2]-5[2])which anticipated Kimberlé Crenshaw’s (-5[1])coining (10[1])of (10[1])“intersectionality.” (10[14])A (10[1])philosopher’s (10[3])statement (10[2])that (10[1])“one is not born, (10[1])but (10[1])rather (10[2])becomes” (10[6]-5[1])a certain (10[3])type of person (10[2])launched this (-5[1])movement’s (-5[1])second (10[1])wave, (10[5])whose members (10[3])included (10[3])Betty Friedan and Gloria (10[1])Steinem. (10[1])For 10 points, Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex is part of what philosophical and social movement (10[1])that opposes (10[1])patriarchy? ■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: feminism [accept feminist killjoys; accept Bad Feminist; accept intersectional feminism; accept second-wave feminism; prompt on intersectionality before it is read by asking, “what movement is that a part of?”]
