lol, truly, it is.

i know what you meant. and that is generally how we use the terminology. i am at the point, where a group and what now seems like a smaller group as women grow up, and we see the results of the new wave, seem to be doing a 180 on what supposed third wave is and they do not get to own third wave. there are way too many young women we have put up in this forum who does not fall under the definition of third wave. they too are feminsits. our young feminist. i see no reason their voice should be silenced and not heard. as a matter of fact, i am hearing these very young "second wave" feminists a hell of a lot more than the lipstick feminist. actually, i really do not like lipstick feminist any more than sex positive terminology. but, they are both in the same group. so i really cant use third wave and not sure the word to use for description.
