wk. two=Reading: F-Word; Chapter 5; Signs of the TIMES: DEFINDING the Third WAVE


I found my self lost here. I have not kept up with the women's movement.
I got involved when I was in my twenties and early thirties, but children and
family, along with my nursing career, caring for severly handicapped children,
I lost tract and now find that I don't understand Waves, to me it sounds like the
same battles.
It appears that we have made some giant leaps toward equality,but lost the interest of the young by being stuck in the same old lines and the same old thing.
We need to liven up the Women's movement and make is interesting.
I agree that titles and tags are confining.
So, what do the young women want? How would they suggest these goals be reached?
It was from the youth that the movement began, sowhy not let they become the vital force which will move the movement forward.
Most men will listen to young vital women. And, if there are enough of them saying
the same thing, then changes will happen.
I would love to hear what they have to say about feminism. How do we get more of them voting and speaking out about the inequalities under which they find their choices limited.?
