- W104614095 abstract "We want to use our newfound freedoms, and talk about them, and maybe even modify them a bit, but older feminists seem more concerned with just sitting on them, sticking blindly with a single political agenda. No deviation allowed! Janis Cortese (1999) [Y]oung women are celebrating pluralities, embracing their personal and political contradictions: (i.e.: choosing to wear makeup while maintaining a critical stance toward the misogyny inherent in the cosmetic industry) and refusing the feminist party line. Krista Jacob (2001) Now in my mid-thirties, I am the age of many of those who, since the 1990s, have identified themselves as third-wave feminists. As a student of women's studies and philosophy through the late 1980s and early 1990s at the University of Missouri, it was feminist teachers grounded in the second wave who first inspired me. They led me through the theory and poetry of Andrea Dworkin, Adrienne Rich, Andre Lorde, Marge Piercy, and Susan Griffin, the incisive womanist writings of Angela Davis and Alice Walker, the philosophical flights of Mary Daly, and even the gritty critique of The Scum Manifesto. This work continued to shape my thinking, even after friends steered me toward the exciting work of Judith Butler, Ani Difranco, and the third-wave Web sites and anthologies that began appearing around 1995. Perhaps it is because the contours of my own feminism have been formed by both second- and third-wave ideas and sensibilities that I have never had much patience for dismissive criticisms between second- and third-wave feminists. I have, in fact, argued that when third wavers such as the influential Rebecca Walker accuse second wavers of such crimes as rabid identity politics, they are writing as if the second wave were monolithic, as if there existed some agreed-upon party line that older feminists have been imposing on everyone else. Since I know that there is and always has been disagreement and flexibility among older feminists about all kinds of things, I have been inclined to brush off such younger women's critiques. What I am beginning to think, however, is that just because there is no one set of clearly articulated values emanating from feminism, there may still be some legitimacy in talking about recognizably feminist values of which younger feminists might be critical. After all, there is no one set of clearly articulated misogynistic mandates emerging from an easily identifiable site called the patriarchy, but this does not undercut the legitimacy of feminist critiques of it. In this essay, I look at how feminism, especially the academic feminism born of the second wave, can be understood as significantly affecting younger feminists in their very constitution as emerging feminist subjects. Through an appropriation of some Foucauldian ideas, I show how a movement such as feminism must contain the very kinds of pressures that serve to produce feminist subjects who can then be expected to resist that same feminism. Specifically, I describe how some of the practices of feminism in the college classroom serve as examples of how, through various explicit and implicit cues, feminist subjects are produced. Next, I contextualize some younger women's criticisms, situating them in such a way that they can be seen as legitimate expressions of resistance, but ones that do not necessarily require the falsification of earlier feminist claims. I analyze the general question of the nature of feminist choice as an especially fruitful point of tension between younger and older feminists, one that accounts for some of the looming communication gap that sometimes appear between the waves. As I see it, the generation gap between these groups of feminists is not based so much on disagreement about particular issues as on a failure to communicate honestly in the first place. There is a disingenuousness about the nature of power and resistance on both sides, one that not only results in gross misunderstandings as reflected in the popular media, but that also will affect the nature and quality of cross-generational collaboration in the academy. …" @default.
