Third wave feminism is defined as the time between the 1990's to present day. Today and unlike the former movements, the term ‘feminist’ is received less critically by the female population due to the varying feminist outlooks. There are the ego-cultural feminists, the radicals, the liberal/reforms, the electoral, academic, ecofeminists… the list goes on.
Feminist views are completely varied and cannot be wave defined. We are still fighting for acceptance and equality.
Case study - Grimes: I don’t want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living - originally posted on her personal Tumblr account.
"i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized"
"I’m tired of men who aren’t professional or even accomplished musicians continually offering to ‘help me out’ (without being asked), as if i did this by accident and i’m gonna flounder without them. or as if the fact that I’m a woman makes me incapable of using technology. I have never seen this kind of thing happen to any of my male peers"
"I’m sad that my desire to be treated as an equal and as a human being is interpreted as hatred of men, rather than a request to be included and respected (I have four brothers and many male best friends and a dad and i promise i do not hate men at all, nor do i believe that all men are sexist or that all men behave in the ways described above)"
