Yeah but that's not postmodernism that's just social justice thinking done with bad PR

This is pretty much the premise of postmodernism in terms of cultural identity. Everything is the fault of white people, therefore *all* white people share blame. This doesn't bother me personally, but it does give me an understanding as to what is happening culturally atm.pic.twitter.com/vXtnyvNGcO

It argues that anyone with any power must be bad because those without power must be oppressed by those with it. Of course this ignores personal responsibility, competence and a gracious/just use of power. It puts good and evil into classes instead of individuals. Big mistake.

This is the self-referentiality problem that is pointed out to them constantly. The first lot said they didn't claim anything to be true. The second more politicised wave just ignore the contradiction.

No. Second wave is feminism prior to intersectional post-modernism. One way to describe the distinction between the two is equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome. The latter gives a moral justification for use of force to feed envy, resentment and jealousy.

Radfems and libfems existed in the second wave. That was the criticism of both but it wasn't altogether justified. It was mostly the reaction of people with a 50s mentality.
