Blag Hag: Feminists ride a new wave – sidesaddle<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

CHICAGO, IL – In what\u2019s being heralded as a shocking move, the National Organization of Women (NOW) announced the end of Third Wave Feminism and the beginning of a Fourth Wave.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was time for a change,\u201d said Jennifer Baumgardner, a pioneer of Third Wave Feminism and co-author of Manifesta,<\/em> a leading treatise of Third Wave thought. \u201cWe just got tired of, you know, telling people that fuck-me pumps are empowering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Third Wave Feminism stood in stark contrast to its predecessor, Second Wave Feminism. Where the Second Wave addressed inequalities, sexuality, family, the workplace, and, perhaps most controversially, reproductive rights, Third Wave Feminism focused on sex-positivity, which gave a broader definition of what sex means and what oppression and empowerment may mean in the context of sex.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, we just wanted to fuck and forget,\u201d continued Baumgardner.<\/p>\n

The next wave of feminism diverges dramatically from all previous waves of feminist theory. While gender equality remains the penumbral objective, the road to equality has a new path.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the economy being what it is, and the rigors of modern life being so difficult on everyone, we at NOW came to the inescapable conclusion that life before feminism was better for women,\u201d said NOW president, Terry O’Neill. \u201cFinding a good man to stand behind and producing him a son and heir, being soft spoken and subservient, and, most of all, staying in the house and only leaving with your husband\u2019s permission are now the cornerstones. The Fourth Wave will empower women by alleviating them of all the bullshit one has to put up with in a modern society. If you can find a man that has a well paying job and who can provide, why not just live a comfortable life and just, you know, let him deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill then quickly added, \u201cBesides, it\u2019s not that bad being second to the man of the house. You just have to remember your place sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evolution of Fourth Wave thought has been attributed to the success of the Twilight<\/em> novels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the thoughts have always been there, Twilight<\/em> really opened up many women\u2019s eyes by showing us that as independent as we want to be, we\u2019re only worthwhile when we have an Edward to hold and love us,\u201d Said Baumgardner. Edward, a sparkling obviously-not-gay vampire, is the love interest of the teen aged protagonist in the Twilight<\/em> \u201csaga\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite the expedient move from Third to Fourth Wave, there has been very little resistance to the adoption of these new Fourth Wave Principles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Third Wave had its time, but it has really started to get old.\u201d Said Jen McCreight. \u201cSex is great and all, but every Third Waver knew, in their heart of hearts, that it couldn\u2019t last. We all knew that, at some point, we were going to have to find a man to provide for us so we could just relax. We knew we had to sell out sometime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added McCreight, \u201cI just hope that there\u2019s a sugar daddy left for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

HA! Well done Ms. McCreight. The Onion should employ you (really). I confess the inevitable shame: when I read the title, and before I even read the whole article, I had to google this because at first I thought some fool had come with a “fourth wave” decree. Just proves that the amount of insanity I read on a daily basis has kind of desensitized me to well written parody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
