Who are the young feminists?

Hahahahahahaha

Do you really think that it is wise to encourage her into these beliefs just because they are current? As a woman slightly older than your daughter I find modern day mainstream feminism downright unacceptable. It is more about making mountains out if mole hills (like leg shaving) and creating a victim profile (because every bad thing that happens to you is a result of your sex) than ensuring that women's rights are preserved (yes, we really are at that stage) and actually empowering women (as opposed to covering up systemic failures with positive discrimination). It's better for her to start from the beginning so that she can understand the origins of femenism and decide for herself where to draw the line between women's liberation and down right silliness.

Oops sorry, we should all be feminists. Am on the wine!

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - we are all feminists now

Also, Cordelia Fine: Delusions of Gender
A scientific exposé of the biases loaded against women.
Not quite as readable as the previous book I mentioned but definitely not a difficult read. It’s quite humourously written despite the quite depressing content.
I haven’t finished it yet but am hoping she presents some potential solutions at the end!

Hi, I recently read an amazing book called The Means of Reproduction: Sex, power & the future of the world. By Michelle Goldberg

She’s an investigative journalist with the NY Times now I believe and the book is a compilation of years of research she did. It doesn’t overtly state a particular feminist angle, although it hammers home through its content that women’s problems (and humankind as a result) are massively caused by our biology and society’s attitudes towards curtailing our autonomy of our bodies and therefore our lives.

Therefore would be acceptable to someone who was scared of reading one of the second wavers for fear of them being currently unfashionable with lib fems.

It’s very well paced, punchy and gripping. It’s also shocking and breathtakingly brutal at times. It’s very topical now as it was written literally just before Obama came to power in 2008 so at the end of the Bush republican presidency. Reading it now, just 8 years later, the content is still very current and topical

I don't know about books, but meghan murphy does feministcurrent.com and she's great.

Has Magdalen Burns written anything because love her YouTube videos.

I think the mainstream media has co-oped feminism to promote anal sex and pornography to girls. It's very insidious.

Feminism has been mainstreamed and made meaningless.

Just marking place as I'd like to buy something similar for my DC.
