Some people think Obama being on the cover of Ms. Magazine is elitist and exploitive and that it mocks those who supported Hillary.
Some people need a nap.
Feminism is about education and enlightenment, yes? Ideally, everyone regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic standing, yadda yadda, would understand and espouse this radical notion that women are people, because feminism is nothing if not far-reaching and egalitarian. And it would be super-great if those enlightened happened to be powerful, too, like heads of state, because they send a powerful message to the whole world — and they can get. shit. done. Right?
Right!…. Except, apparently, when it’s a man who happened to run against a woman and win. Then it is just an elitist, exploitive mockery.
Sometimes you just can’t win for losing. Oy.
