What is Lorde ideal of a feminist?

I think it's the fact that Selena calls herself "it," thereby objectifying herself, though one
could argue that it's just her cooch she's calling "it," which I guess would be an improvement
I'm not in as strong of agreement with Lorde on this one as I usually am but Selena's rebuttal is incredibly stupid and displays utter ignorance about what feminism is.
