Round 10: Tossup 5

Sara Ahmed tells members of this movement to bring it up in daily life and act as “killjoys.” An essay by Roxane Gay asks whether enjoying rap makes her a “bad” member of this (10[1])movement. (10[2])Members of this movement published the Combahee River Collective Statement, which anticipated Kimberlé Crenshaw’s coining of “intersectionality.” A philosopher’s statement that “one is not born, but rather becomes” a certain type of person launched this movement’s second wave, (10[1])whose members included (10[1])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?”]
