[edit] New Feminism vs. Fourth Wave

I think "New Feminism" should be included in the Feminist bar. It is significantly different in theory and proposals than other forms of Old Feminism and is considered by some as the "fourth-wave" of the Feminist Movement.

Fourth-wave feminism would be a lot more appropriate than 'new feminism'. If you want to start a page on 4th wave feminism and put it on the template, go for it. --Helenalex 00:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I think it might be too early to say or define "fourth-wave" feminism yet, and New feminism as a feminist movement has been going by that specific name.

It think it will continue to be consecutive "waves of feminism." The reason being is that we as a society continue to marginalize and sub group people. Third wave feminism shed light on groups that were and are still socially otherized. Therefore, as a result, "global feminisms" came about. However, as a result more subgroups and new otherized people are still being ignored. The more we as as a society grow to become politically correct; we grow further apart. Ulitmately, the gaps are not being bridged. Until then, we will still have consecutive waves of feminism.Aharper12 04:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reduced Footprint

This template has gotten quite large, so I've taken some steps to reduce its footprint. First, I removed the redundant "feminist" label from almost every subtype. Marxist feminism, New feminism, Postmodern feminism... they're all feminism, it doesn't need to be restated every time. This saved on horizontal space and allowed me to put the subtypes (as well as a other sections) in columns. Some other rearranging, and the template still has all the items it originally had, but takes up far less real estate on the pages it's used on. Neitherday 00:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
