These Feminist Oreo Cheesecake Bars Are as Tasty as They Are Righteous

By Julia Poorvu at Skidmore College

Look, I love slutty desserts like the next person, but I also like gender equality.

For this recipe I wanted to combine my three favorite things: humor, dessert and feminism. C'mon, this is an act of feminism that I'm sure all your friends will want to get a piece of.  

This recipe consists of two kinds of cookies, cheesecake, and is also really easy to make—even for an amateur baker. Also changing the usual "slutty" to "feminist" hopefully takes away the shame of having seconds. What's wrong with wanting to eat it all? Feminism never tasted so good.

Now, time to get zesty about feminism. I am walnut, hear me roar!
