Our World and Our Lives

---

We all know that being a woman in today's world can be difficult, but we're doing it. We also know that our lives today often don't square with what the second wave says they should be.

This isn't really a surprise. The women's movement has effectively begun a huge transformation of society, and the first and second waves of feminism started the ball rolling. And any time a social change of this magnitude gets underway, it doesn't follow the track the first group thought it would-- or should. We've gone in new and unanticipated directions because we didn't grow up in the 1960's. Women today live different lives than anyone thought they would thirty years ago, and feminism must adjust accordingly. We are the next wave. If you think feminism no longer addresses your concerns, these pages are for you.

We diverge from the second wave on a variety of topics, and to varying degrees. Self-defense. Kids. Men and sex. Money. Our opinions are different from theirs, but we proudly call ourselves feminists, without doubt. Let's take a look at those opinions.
