Opinion of Third Wave Feminism

[checkers]

idk, I find the idea of judging 'waves' of feminism in this manner a bit overly simplistic when there have always been numerous different currents within feminism - liberal vs radical vs socialist etc. People here have been describing the second wave as austere, anti-sex etc and sure, you have Andrea Dworkin, but that period had the Helen Gurley Brown, "Sex and the Single Girl" type feminism and the "porn wars". I often feel like the way the waves are characterised is inconsistent and a certain wave (often second wave) will become representative of the kind of feminism the speaker dislikes - the second wave is often caricatured conversely as too liberal and rights-based, or too radical/separatist; not inclusive of lesbians, or lesbian separatist. In many ways the disputes of the second wave (and even the first wave) are still being waged today.
