I don’t know anything about anything. But I think that we may be in Fourth Wave Feminism. Gone are the days of Third Wave Feminism which, relative to me being a smelly boy, were pretty cool. The ideology of Third Wave Feminism was that women could do whatever they wanted from sex worker to medical doctor. This lead to lots of young women running around with no clothes on and dudes getting an eye full in more ways than one.
But now, things are changing.
Apparently, we may be on the cusp of Fourth Wave Feminism which is something of a downer relative to the good old days of “liberated strippers.” In general, I don’t care. I’m not a woman and it’s not really my place to get involved in which particular wave of feminism we might be living in.
So it’s not that I’m concerned about. What is bother me is the idea that somehow using the word “female” is now taboo and “gross,” if all the videos I see now on Tik-Tok would be any indication.
What the what?
Words are really important to me –obviously — and the idea that I can no longer use the word “female” of all things is really, really shocking and aggravating.
It will be interesting to see if the malignant idiots of Fox News will pick this new attack by the “woke cancel culture mob.” Whatever. But all I can say is the center-Left will do itself no favors by attacking clueless men for simply using the word “female.”
I just don’t know how much the forming taboo about using “female” is a Tik-Tok thing and how much is real. Only time will tell.
