Meet The Brogressive, Your New Worst Enemy [View all]

[William769]

should have known based on his precisely pressed, purple gingham shirt and dark-framed glasses, his head, quizzically, the perfect shape for a Fedora. Sitting next to me at yet another progressive millennial conference in Washington, he struck up a conversation. When asked where he interned, he explained he did communications for an organization that works in liberal media messaging. When the question was reciprocated, I said I interned at the Feminist Majority Foundation.


When I said "feminist," his mouth curled. "What does that mean?" He asked, confused. I explained I spent most of my time writing blog posts, tweets, and research summaries pertaining to the feminist movement, primarily in the areas of reproductive justice and sexual violence prevention on college campuses. With a faint eyebrow raise, the conversation abruptly ended.


We filled out the surveys handed to us when we walked into the seminar room. Under the section where we were supposed to circle which aspects of progressive politics interested us, I glanced at his paper, only to see he chose every possible answer except for "Racial Justice," LGBTQ Rights," and "Women's Rights."
