I only caught a glimpse of the newspaper article today but found a link online. I 'like' (if that's the right word) the slogans why we still need feminism.

Sorry this got missed and I confess I've only skimmed it. (It would be easier if the link were clickable).

My initial thoughts are - I see lots of feminist stuff on-line from young women (pictured with slogans etc as in the illustration on the article). It's great that they get it. It doesn't seem to be making much of a difference, though. Are their male peers changing anything at all in terms of their perceptions?

And I'm Hmm about the Fourth Wave definition. I really hope that's not where we're at. Because we really are limestone, then.

Yes, we still need feminism. Stuff that challenges, though, not just celebrates.

Yes it's a bit oh well nice stuff is nice for nice people isn't. The slogans are fine but held by a pretty homogenous group of women.
