Feminist Hulk—The Ms Mag Interview: HULK WILL SMASH PATRIARCHY
We’re mildly obsessed with the Feminist Hulk, the imaginary fighter of all things good and feminist, WITH A GOAL OF SMASHING PATRIARCHY (he also writes in all caps). Since the FEMINIST HULK hit Twitter last month, he’s gathered some 10,000 fans who follow his 140-character commentary on gender, patriarchy and feminism. The Hulk conducted his first interview (ever) with Ms. Magazine. Excerpts:
Ms.: Feminist theory often gets a bad rap for being too hard to follow and intimidating. Are you trying to translate theory for a general audience?
feministhulk: HULK LOVE POLYSYLLABIC WORDS. HULK NUZZLE BIG GREEN FACE INTO RICHLY WRITTEN FEMINIST TEXTS. ALSO, THIS JUST HOW HULK TALK.
Ms.: We can’t all be superheroes like you. What recommendations do you have for those who might want to nurture their inner Feminist Hulk?”
feministhulk: PATRIARCHY NOT WORK ALONE. SEXISM, RACISM, CLASSISM AND HOMOPHOBIA REINFORCE EACH OTHER. HULK SAY TO FOLLOWERS: SMASH ON MULTIPLE FRONTS. AND, JUST IN CASE YOU STUMBLE, BRING EXTRA PAIR OF PURPLE SHORTS.
