third wave feminism wanted to change the rape shield law. She felt that shielding the name and face of the rape victim implied that patriarchal society felt that the woman had a reason to be ashamed. She said that was bullshit. A rape victim has nothing of which to be ashamed and thus has/had no need to have her name and face hidden.
Not all third wave feminists would agree with that, but as you can see, third wavers tend to have very different ways of looking at feminism than second wavers.
