Nasty Feminist is a strategic party game that was developed in response to the reclaiming of the word "nasty" by feminists all over the United States.
During the final presidential debate last year, now-U.S. President Donald exclaimed that his opponent Hillary Clinton was a "nasty woman." This undignified commentary resulted in feminists all over the U.S. reclaiming the word "nasty," and describing themselves as such. The Nasty Feminist game is an extension of that small movement, and features a series of cards that function as a matching game. Prominent feminists and successful women are featured on these cards, Including Serena Williams, Beyonce, Ida B Wells and more.
This strategic party game can adopt any tone players are looking to set, whether "comedic, serious, irreverent, or downright offensive."
