It Sure Seems That Way

Feminism and royalty are made for each other
Today, in contrast, feminism is the status quo. The dominance of feminism, and in particular the new orthodoxies being established through #MeToo, tells us that high-profile women, journalists, BBC presenters, film stars and royalty now have more to gain through being associated with feminism than with appearing to reject it. Feminism today supports and reinforces the privileges of the elite: it does not pose a threat to them...No, today it seems as if royalty and feminism are perfectly suited to each other: both are posh, prissy and condescending.
