As written by Sister Outrider
I love this. Interesting she says she has nostalgia for the second wave. I'm in my forties and thought that is what feminism was! I didn't really realise things have changed so much.
I like what she says about acceptable feminism being non challenging e.g. Lean In. That's been my observation too.

It is a really interesting article. I totally get the whole other img of the second wave. The impression I got of rad gems when a lib fem was that they were all militant lesbian separatists, old fashioned and out of touch.

Now I'm militant, old fashioned and out of touch myself I am coming to embrace my people Grin

Great article. Like a lot of 40somethings, I took my eye off feminism for a few years, too busy with kids, work etc. I look at the state of what passes for feminism now and am horrified. Time to get stuck in again! Being 40something, I have the benefit of self-confidence and am quite happy to have the "wrong" opinions.

I want that too tartle!

Sign me up. I'm a millenial, but an utter bra-burner at heart. Porn culture seems to have decimated true feminism. It seems like mid-90s was the last time real feminism had any voice.

That is an excellent article, and it's really interesting to hear her experiences, and also to see that Twitter etc can be good for the development and dissemination of poIitical ideas (I'll remember that next time I'm wasting my life on twitter). I'm another 40 something…did some feminist stuff at uni and then kids, came back to it and was like WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE??!! I was shocked to be referred to as a radical feminist because I'd always associated radical feminism with political lesbianism, like tartle said. Now what I had assumed to be 'normal' feminism is radical feminism.

I'm glad that some millennial's are agreeing ava

And I've found an A4 poster that comes from Britain. From men, in Britain but there you go. I'm so going to get one though...here
