Youbtie: The kind of feminism that involves shouting at women should, perhaps, particularly for men, take a back seat. She says the pandemic has opened up any possibilities to create a fairer world going forward. Youbtie's new book is called 'Intelligence squared' and will be published by Simon & Schuster next year.
Helen Lewis argues that feminism's success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines.
It's time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women.
