Apologies for name change, DD knows I use MN and I don't want her to find my usual username if she comes on and recognises the posting topic.
I was quite shocked when she came home and announced that she'd selected to base a school project on what's wrong with feminism. (She had free rein, it wasn't from a range of options). We started a conversation about it, but I was really shocked by some of her views- the gender pay gap is made up and if it existed it'd be women's fault, feminists shut down access for men to have access to any kind of support if they are victims of crime, there is no need for feminism anymore because women and men have equal rights, women don't need sex-segregated spaces. Apparently, this is based on the feminists on instagram (who she can't name) .
Can anyone recommend any introductory reading on feminism that would be suitable for a teenager please? I really don't want to be that annoying person who flounces in and demands that everyone drops what they're doing and explains feminism to meeeee, and I do my own reading around the subject , but she doesn't want to engage with anything I might want to say.
Of course, I understand that part of feminism is that she has the right to her own opinions, but I fear that she's getting some very one-sided views from a limited echo chamber.
