(32,886 posts)I make pretty much all of the standard arguments you would expect from a 3rd waver. I was a 2nd waver until my 2nd wife introduced me to 3rd wave concepts and, to me, they make much more sense. To be sure, there really arent that many differences between the two. They both advocate against violence against women, for equal pay for equal work, etc. And I have argued alongside second wavers here against the use of words like b----h and c--t.
But there are definite differences between 2nd and 3rd wavers and many prominent feminists like Naomi Wolf also are 3rd wavers. The question is, should that difference, and a heated discussion on it, get someone blocked from a group where 2nd vs 3rd wave is not an item discussed in the SOP. AND would I have gotten blocked if it wasnt so obvious I was a male, i.e. if for some reason my profile identified me as female. I strongly believe at this point that my blocking was gender bias, and the fact that Warren was banned when he hadnt posted anything is an important clue to that IMHO.
But my attitude on feminist viewpoints? Here are a few examples:

You can also generally google my name and feminism and women. I write about the topic a lot.
