I'm a feminist, loud and proud, and I'm equally as frustrated by the tendency of the second wavers to denigrate the choices of the third wavers simply because they differ. I wrote a post about it <A HREF="http://audreyapple.blogspot.com/2007/09/not-with-bang-but-whimper.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> that you may be interested in. It's about some comment Greer and Weldon made at the Edinburgh Writers Festival.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am neither a lesbian nor a man hater. My eternal argument for the case of feminist badge wearing is simply that, to be afraid of claiming feminist empowerment because others might assume you are a man-hating lesbian (ie unfeminine, unwomanly, unacceptable) is proof positive that feminism is still very much a necessity. The real battle comes with convincing women our age (and younger) that they can redefine this feminism for themselves to whatever ends they best feel empowers them. (Of course, that leads then to the conundrum of raunch culture, but the response to that is empowerment versus value - ie, does flashing your breasts in a bar make you feel sexually empowered, or sexually valued? The reality is that it's mostly the latter - again, a clear argument in favour of real feminist ideals, by which I mean the claiming of self-determination, strength and respect for one's abilities.)<BR/><BR/>Forgive me if this is rambling - it's late...audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323195108685705355noreply@blogger.com
