I made a pun in twitter and realized some feminist stuff. My pun went like this: “I know why we study men in history. It’s because you’re studying his story. That’s why it’s called history.” But thats not all...

I LOOKED MY PUN UP TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ACTUAL THING AND OMG THERES THIS AMAZING THING CALLED HERSTORY. ITS NOT HISTORY IF YOU’RE STUDYING A WOMAN’S STORY. ITS HERSTORY.
