Feminists, assemble! I bring great news! Steve Bannon – yes, that Steve Bannon, the one who sees himself as the wizard behind Donald Trump’s Oz – has noticed that women are Up To Something. “The top seven stories today are all guys getting blown up,” he told the journalist Michael Lewis recently, having flicked on cable news and seen an item about Harvey Weinstein and other celebrities getting walloped with sex assault allegations. “I think it’s going to unfold like the Tea Party, only bigger… It’s not Me Too. It’s not just sexual harassment. It’s an anti-patriarchy movement. Time’s up on 10,000 years of recorded history. This is coming. This is real.”
Wow, big talk, Big Steve. An anti-patriarchy movement is coming? Someone wake up Mary Wollstonecraft, she’s going to want to hear about this.
