In many ways, Broad City best friends Abbi and Ilana are terrible role models. Ilana is a worthless employee, Abbi is a pushover, and both women are mostly irresponsible and broke. That said, I adore them, not only for their dagger-sharp wit but also for their modern, dirty take on feminism. They stand up for women and sex positivity without being too — or, frankly, at all — PC. Read on for 28 moments when Abbi and Ilana became my feminist heroes (warning: many of them involve butt play).
