Just to clarify - this image you invoke of feminists who "burn bras in trash cans" - feminists have never actually burned bras. At the event you're referring to, the protest of the 1971 Miss America Pageant, there was a Freedom Trash Can where feminists threw out objects of traditional femininity, like bras, but they were never burned.

Otherwise, great piece!
