A friend of mine is constantly complaining about 2nd wave feminists. (If it helps to understand her better, she is a sex-positive, man-pleasing type of feminist from California).

I have to say that although I consider myself a feminist I haven’t studied feminism academically and I don’t know which wave happened when or what they were all about. Can someone explain what her problem might be with 2nd wave feminists?

The one where we wave at men through the window of our protected sex-segregated spaces.

I tend to see it as more of an ongoing conversation.

What Cara and Du said. And why does any woman call prostitution “sex-positive”? Not for women’s sake. Which is what feminism is about.

The one that doesn’t pander to penis-havers.

I think you just answered your own question.

2nd wave feminism centres women. 3rd wave faux-feminism centres dicks.
