Smash the Patriarchy Tee

In 1970 Doubleday published Sexual Politics, Kate Millett's Columbia doctoral dissertation, which defined patriarchy as "the birthright priority whereby males rule females." Her point was that this was a system, built into the family and into the novels people were taught to admire, rather than a handful of bad men. Feminists spent the next two decades theorizing the word, and academics spent the ones after that arguing over it. Then it went back outside, onto protest signs at the 2017 Women's Marches and across internet memes. Three words, one verb, no footnotes. For people who brought their own hammer.

A Smash the Patriarchy graphic tee for feminists, protest marchers, and anyone who has been told to smile more. The slogan in heavy rounded capitals arched like a rainbow, a hammer on one end and a raised fist on the other. A gift for women's studies students, organizers, sisters, and every friend who sends the group chat articles.
