Solution: Fierce opponent of patriarchy - NYT Crossword

Another debut, also clued correctly, as there is a true definition of the term RADICAL FEMINIST. Kathie Sarachild coined it in the 1960s to refer to an extension of feminism that believed that current societal norms (which would be termed “patriarchal”) are untenable and need to be upended for feminist progress to be made — no more working with the system. This is pretty recent history, but it’s quite rarely brought up and I wonder if the history of feminism is ever included in any school curriculum outside of women’s studies. If it’s not, that’s an example of the patriarchy right there, isn’t it. It also explains why the term is used incorrectly, often, to insult.
