What's one album/book/movie that made you into the person you are today?

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir really shaped my view of feminism. It showed me how feminism is not necessarily about the notion that women are oppressed and men are privileged, but how being treated as a human being is what is important, and womens' traditional role distorts that. It is the notion that women should be treated as people first and not reduced to reproductive or sexual functions. And really, all liberatory movements from #BLM to womens' rights are about the notion that "I am human" at the very bottom of it. It's frustrating to the people in them because it's self-evident to themselves, as one knows nothing if not the notion that oneself is human, but it's very controversial in the context of society's outside conventions.
