This past year was tough on all Americans, but women had a particularly rough 2016. That's why this holiday season, you should try and bring a little joy to the badass chicks in your girl gang with one of these funny feminist gift ideas. After all, who doesn't love humor with a feminist twist.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to feminism, sadly including dozens and dozens of negative assumptions and generalizations about the movement and the people behind it. The truth is, though, that feminists come in all different shapes and sizes, and most of us come with a pretty good sense of humor, too. No, we don't think rape jokes are funny, we don't find violence against women hilarious, and misogyny will never make us laugh. But, you know what will? A hilarious feminist present that not only brings a smile to everyone's faces, but helps spread our advocacy. There's literally no way you can go wrong with a present like that.

Give the gift of love and equality this holiday season with the help of one of these 19 funny feminist gift ideas. From one feminist to another, trust me, we could all use a little laughter right about now.
