Generations are pitted against each other from the beginning of many people’s feminist education. People are forever weighing the pros and cons of the Second Wave (what we classically think of as feminist activism: hairy-pitted Gloria Steinem burning bras in the 70’s) versus the Third Wave (the Manifesta me-me-me generation). I personally do not identify as a Third Wave feminist or an any wave feminist, really. As a woman of color, the feminists who inspire me most, such as Audre Lorde and Gloria Anzaldúa escape the confines of the waves, as they were both actively a part of critiquing the white mainstream feminism that constructed the waves in the first place. I would, however, like to address some misinformation that gets spread around about young activists.
