Wendy Macgregor Third Wave Feminism

With the rise and dawn of various social movements throughout the world, particularly those movements rooted in the fight for inequality, individual groups have gained various advances in liberal and non-liberal democracies. During different eras in history, women have fought for equality (…..).. The notion or ideology of feminism can be difficult to ascertain and distinguish because feminism is multifaceted and can be rooted in and based upon differentiating ideologies, notions or entities (….). For example, it can be suggested that one central idea, notion, or key ideology to feminism or feminist theory is the idea of what it means to be a woman and what are the different components or aspects that comprise the notion of a feminist ideology
However there are social ramifications to feminism that the author can take note of or employ. For example, since feminism is a broad conceptual notion and entity, feminism and its branches are not limited to just one type. A relatively new phenomenon or branch of feminism is the idea or concept of third wave feminism. Third wave feminism strives to take into account prospective omissions and other plausible typifications during and from the eras of first and second wave feminism. I don’t think that feminism is dead as suggested or implied by the author but rather feminism is just blossoming and evolving into a entity that is new and profound encompassing new elements and entities. For example, third wave feminism could take into account and propose recommendations for those individuals thought to be in or amongst a minority such as Aboriginal women. Whilst older forms of feminism may have focused solely on the eradication of patriarchy, new forms of feminism suggest and assert that it can be important for men to play a role in changing faces, attitudes, and evolutions of new waves of feminism. It can be suggested that the notion or idea of third wave feminism can help to shape different aspects of social environments such as for example the political spectrum. Since third wave feminism can encompass the values and notions of men, within the political spectrum this can be central and hold significance particularly in terms of proportional and mirror representation which attests and suggests to the idea that the number of women in political office should be a reflection of the number of women in a given population
