Talk:Post-feminism

message: I don't understand how the TV show Ally McBeal can be considered "post-feminist." How is it a challenge to the binary construction of gender? I understand including Winterson -- Written on the Body is fundementally about the destabilization of the male/female. But I guess I'm a little lost on Ally. --Rachiestar 02:47, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Ally McBeal?

message: How common is this usage of post-feminism? Frankly, I haven't heard of it. Whenever I do hear the term post-feminist/postfeminist used by gender theorists it's to refer to the notion proposed by media that feminism "died" in the 1980s due to a lack of necessity, among other things (a notion, however, that has been largely discredited - see Hall / Rodriguez 2003 and Aronson 2003).

thread_title: How common?

message: Shouldn't their be something in this article about post-feminist influences on changing attitudes to female sexuality? The old style feminists' (Dworkin etc) obsession with pornography and female underwear advertisements, and their view of woman as the eternal victim of male lust, looks, in retropect, somewhat stuffy and puritanical. Maybe Madonna (as much as Paglia) was an influence here? Colin4C 09:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't have time to integrate its many definitions at the moment, but a useful survey of definitions of "postfeminism", with plenty of additional citations, is found in:
:.
While there are a number of sub-variations, the two main ideas they identify as "postfeminist" are: 1) a backlash against feminism, which aims to defend what it sees as the good aspects of traditional femininity against what it sees as feminism's excesses; and 2) a postmodernist critique of feminism, which seeks to problematize its narratives in a variety of ways. The two don't share that much in common, despite using a common term. --Delirium 08:25, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  a useful reference 

message: I just read this article and still don't know what the main tenets or thrusts of post-feminism actually are, nor to which characteristics or consequences of feminism it was reactionary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Depaderico (talk • contribs) 05:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Having reviewed the Post-feminism article and the section here, I think it would be appropriate to merge and redirect that article here until the section expands enough to justify having its own article--Cailil  talk 15:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
