Feminism, Sex, and Gender•Assembly• Monday, 10:00-11:15 a.m.
Some of the most intense and fruitful conversations I've had at past WisCons are about how feminism needs to change as the first generation of "post-feminist" women grow up and step into a still-unequal and complicated world. Third Wave feminism is associated with everything from Suicide Girls to PowerPuff Girls to radical postmodern re-thinkings of race, gender and identity. Is "Girl Power" all we need, or is it time for a dramatic re-assessment of what it means to be a feminist today? And how can we take more action, besides rolling our eyes when another person on TV describes how boob jobs boost confidence?
