This is the taxonomy I use for third-wave feminism. This is not any kind of like Official Statement from the Feminist Gods, but I do think I’ve identified natural kinds.
Liberal Feminism: “All women EVERYWHERE should become CEOs because FEMINISM! Jezebel! New York Times! Lean In! You’re not leaning in hard enough! What’s an intersectionality? All women are upper-middle-class and white and college-educated and work glamorous magazine internships in NYC, right? HOOKUP CULTURE HOOKUP CULTURE HOOKUP CULTURE”
Radical Feminism: “We really, really, really fucking hate trans people. Especially trans women. FUCK trans women. Trans women are basically singlehandedly upholding the patriarchy at this point. Why do kinky women keep letting themselves get abused, those stupid sluts? We need to save sex workers from having the ability to make decisions about their bodies, those poor dears, they just don’t know how oppressed they are. PROBLEMATIC BIHETS. Have we mentioned we hate trans women enough yet?”
SJ Feminism: “Trans women of color are DYING because you won’t invite me to the cool lesbian parties. Your favorite piece of media is Problematic. I have prepared a ten-thousand-item list of why. It is okay to enjoy it, just remember that you have to self-flagellate constantly while you do! I have stopped using d*mb, cr*zy, ps*cho, l*me, bl*nd, d*ft, de*f, id*ot, imb*cile, lun*tic, m*niac, m*ron, n*ts, and sp*z! I have solved ableism forever! Monosexual privilege! Allosexual privilege! Monogamous privilege! We must parse exactly which person is most oppressed in every interaction! The Most Important issue facing Native Americans today is Halloween costumes, closely followed by the Seminole Tribe of Florida not realizing how oppressed they are by the FSU Seminoles. Cishet abled white men! Antisemitism don’t real because Palestine. Trans women of color! Trans women of color! TRANS WOMEN OF COLOR! Kill yourself shrimpdick.”
I am, in case you’re curious, an SJ Feminist.
