Feminist killjoy comes from Sara Ahmed. It’s what happens when women refuse to go along with things that hurt or silence others.
A killjoy does not take joy away. She makes space for real joy that everyone can share.

That is what happened in Canada after the 2022 right-wing trucker convoy.
For a while the Canadian flag meant bigot.
Now we are seeing a reversal as ordinary people reclaim it as a symbol of decency and care.

it's weird for me that houses in USA fly American flags at their house. it's a warning here in aonz: BIGOT INSIDE if people fly the official NZ flag at their house.
if you fly an all blacks flag or the flag any of the competing countries in a rugby game it's all good though. in fact it's preferable

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ＆ unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas ＆ violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ＆ fierce solidarity.

Acts of conscience and integration build joy.
When we act in alignment with what we know to be right, something inside us steadies and expands.
That is where the real joy lives.

Joy is not the opposite of anger. It grows from the same root of caring deeply about the world. To live with conscience is to stay awake to both.
I want joy that tells the truth, not joy that hides it.

Call me a feminist killjoy. I am not here to please or to soften truth.
I care about real joy, not the kind that depends on someone else’s silence or sadness. I seek joy that is free and shared, at no one’s expense. Mock and humiliate no one. Human dignity matters.

Resistance begins in language. Choose words that honour human dignity and refuse contempt.
When we speak with integrity, we make space for conscience, community, and joy.

Reject the terms wine moms, Karen, and illegals. These words are tools of humiliation disguised as humour. They punish visibility, difference, and care. They keep cruelty sounding clever.

None of these movements were perfect.
Second wave feminism missed much about intersectionality, and the critique is valid.
But every imperfect effort laid bricks for what we build now, the foundation of resistance and a new vision of community.

The “man haters” and “bra burners” of the 1970s built the scaffolding for today’s rights in reproductive health, mothering, work, and civic participation.
The “wine moms” of this moment are doing the same moral work in a new political landscape.

The backlash is familiar. Second wave feminism was also built on the leveraged power of middle class white women.
Then we were called bra burners and man haters.
Humiliation was the price of visibility.
