New Word

So like, I've been thinking that there needs to be an adjective for something that has fabulous feminist qualities and I have come up with........... drum roll pls..........



FEMINISTIQUE


I think it's fab and we should all start using it in our everyday language. 

For example, I had my Twentieth Century American Literature exam today and there was a question about Sylvia Plath's poetry. There is always a quote to guide the question and this particular one was said by Ted Hughes (yeah, I know, the audacity!!!) . So, I spent an hour talking about claim to knowledge/biography/misreading female poets etc. The whole thing was very feministique. 

(I feel like its better than saying 'feministy' or 'with feminist undertones') (Please let me know if there is genuinely a word for it though) (But I'm going to rock this one for a bit)


I'VE ALSO LITERALLY JUST REALISED, LIKE HALF WAY THROUGH THIS POST, THAT THERE IS A WORD AND IT'S FEMINISTIC (????? I THINK ????) BUT FEMINISTIQUE IS THE SASSIER VERSION AND FEMINISTS ARE SASSY SO IMMA ROLL WITH IT x
