The author of this satire column encountered a self-proclaimed feminist who seemed more interested in appearances than actual feminist ideology.
While walking through Greenwich Village, the author spotted a man dressed in thrifted clothing, carrying a book titled She Comes First: The Thinking Man’s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman by Ian Kerner, but holding it upside down.
The author describes the man as a "Women-hating phony fake feminist" who was "sauntering sexistly down the street" in his thrifted Chelsea boots.
This encounter led the author to reflect on how performative males can give real feminists a bad reputation.
Author's summary: Satire column discusses performative males and feminism.
