Feminism

The area of feminism remains rather ambiguous to me. I have a self-suiting attitude towards the feminist cause and I'm not sure whether i would call myself a feminist, womanist or whatever. Yet i remain staunchly self-assertive when it comes to my rights and areas of freedom. Female subjectivity is so complex and our lived-in experience is so personal that world-wide solidarity and emancipation is a distant realm of possibility. I found this interesting piece on the 'three waves of feminism' and it has sparked some serious thinking on my part.
(type three waves of feminism on google search and check the first link)
