The Feminist Killjoy Handbook: The Radical Potential of Getting in the Way


The feminist killjoy begins as a sensationalist figure. It is as if the point of making her point is to cause trouble, to get in the way of the happiness of others, because of her own unhappiness.

The killjoy is one who does not make the happiness of others her cause. When she is not willing to make their happiness her cause, she causes unhappiness.
