Liberty Leading the People

If this bothers you, or modern appropriations, you have more in common with this man -

than with most women I know.

And you should stop trying to claim you speak for feminists because you speak for a NARROW view of feminism that I and many others want no part of.

Used a lot for a while. Not so much anymore, though.

That painting is French, by Eugène Delacroix, and it commemorates the July Revolution in France in 1830. It's purely allegorical in nature.
