third-wave feminism

is more inclined to use media and consumer practices for power. It rides on the back of neoliberalism and utilizes the tools of market logic.

This somewhat relates to our discussion about neoliberalism, as these feminist will use these tools in a market logic sense, to get ahead or even just draw attention to their voice. -Meagan Roppo (net)

is more willing to use power, like to use the media or to use the electoral process or to use consumer practices for a good outcome whereas 2nd wave feminism was more puritanical.

I think 3rd wave feminist are more engaged, tend to be more engaged with being willing to use power, like to use the media or to use the electoral process or to use consumer practices for a good outcome. 2nd wave feminism tended to be puritanical. Like we can only be good if we don't touch the media, politics as usual. But apart from that, what I love about being superanuated, ya know I love being the dinosaurs and letting the young ones carry the ball forward. What I love about the 3rd wave and the 4th wave is that it's time for them to make their own mistakes, to create their own theories, to throw up their own leaders, and that's as it should be. it means that the movment is alive and vigorous.

is concerned with women mentoring younger women and women helping younger women to enter the political process and the writing world.

The problem with feminism in the second wave was that we fought so much among ourselves, and I think we did so much damage to the movement... and I think the next wave, the third wave, is women mentoring younger women and women helping younger women to enter the political process and the writing world.
