Amelia Horgan on Steinem’s complex liberal and radical feminism tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/agen...
tribunemag.co.uk
Agent of Feminism

Imagine a normal person, just, like, in your head right now - imagine a normal person, hanging out, being normal. Now, boom, ask yourself - are they Italian? They weren't, were they. Because you don't think Italian people are normal. Racist.
