This week we look at feminism as it was between the late 80s and early 2000’s. It’s creeptastic how much that time period resembles ours, and how indebted current feminists must be to the work that began in the third wave. The third wave of feminism really believed that they could just social-justice the sin out of people. If you can just get people to think the right way—”right” tending to be whatever aligns with their political party—then bad things will stop happening to women. But we are Christians. And we should know better. Right?
