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