Tossup

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

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?”]
