    Anybody else getting bored to tears with the royal third generationers whining on and on about their dead mother?

    Give it a rest or just go on Victoria Derbyshire for a living… 🙄

    I was expecting another rant about how dropper posts are a solution looking for a problem.

    I find that I mentally filter out the endless reporting on them in the same way I do for some especially prolific, yet content-free, STW posters.

    I know!

    The exposure they are getting from it. It’s the best thing that ever happened to them.

    Lucky bastards; they wouldn’t be in the publice eye if it wasn’t for that.

    Let’s face it, Diana’s death was the start of the whole British mass-display-of-grief-for-people-we-don’t-actually-know thing that is so prevalent these days. What is that all about?

    why is is that only those really close to being a Nazi use the term for women who dont want to be door mats oppressed by right wing sexist neanderthal moronic dullards?
    I feel sorry for the sort of pathetic excuse for humanity who is threatened by a female who simply wants equality. The pathetic wee things are actually threatened by assertive women.. Bless the, perhaps mummy was too cold with them?

    As for the royals two things

    1. Their mother died FFS have at least some semblance of respect for how awful it must have been to lose your mother as a child and then have to deal with it in public.

    2. I think its good that we can talk openly about these things

    I do agree it was the start of public grief as a sort of endurance sport but that is separate from respecting the fact that losing your mum as a child has a serious impact on your life

    My mate is 50 and it was 45 years ago for him
    he still talks about it …I have yet to yawn and say shut up you boring bastard its only your mum get over it NO ONE CARES.

    Some of you really need some empathy in your life

    PS dont get a tv i have no idea what you are talking about as I have not heard anything about this lately

    Junky, there is a world of difference between intersectional feminism and 3rd wave. Not least in the way they treat people. Would probably be at home on here mind you.

    I thought this thread was going to be about baby robins, “amusing” variations on topic titles and such…

    3rd wave feminazis are every bit as bad as right wing sexist neanderthal moronic dullards. Get two of them together though and it’s wonderful entertainment.

    I tend to feel a bit sorry for them,even though they are amazingly privileged losing your mum in such public circumstances and having to grieve I public must be a headforker,cant say I pay much attention to it though really,just another story on the news.

    3rd wave feminazis

    IME its a term used entirely by alt right fascist/racist/sexist who cannot handle the fact a woman does not want to be treated like it is the 16 th Century so they resort to shooting the messenger with lazy insults.

    Injustice can indeed make some folk strident in their views.

    Facist/racist/sexist sounds about right to describe a 3rd wave feminazi. They have a lot more in common with the alt right than either would like to admit.

    The reason they are talking about it, and it’s in the news a bit more recently is that their experiences are being used by the princes to contribute to a debate on mental health, and discussion about monumental, life changing events that may have a detrimental effect on it. Particularly aimed at blokes, who don’t think they should be open an honest when they start to struggle in such a way, which only exacerbates the problem. Think about all the support that people get when they come and pour their heart out on here, many people don’t have such a supportive sounding board to turn to.

    So no, I don’t think they should stop going on about it. I think it’s A Good Thing.

    Its a lazy name calling exercise whose only useful purpose is to give an insight into the mind of the person using it.

    Excellent point but its ok its derailed already 😉

    It’s one of those handy words which often tells you more about the person using it than it does about the person / people they’re talking about. A “feminazi,” depending on the point of view of the speaker, is one of two things:

    1) a very vocal, man-hating sexist, bra-burning, probably lesbian, extreme radical feminist who turns every possible minor event into a massive shitstorm and generally gives feminists a bad name.

    2) someone in favour of women’s rights and thus a threat to fragile manbabies, who therefore must be bullied and ridiculed at every opportunity.

    It was more the “3rd wave” I was querying TBH.

    From Wiki

    Third-wave feminism encompasses several diverse strains of feminist activity and study. Though exact boundaries are a subject of debate, it is generally marked as beginning in the early 1990s and continuing to the present. It is an “individual movement” in the sense that its purpose includes redefining what it is to be a feminist.

    The third wave arose partially as a response to the perceived failures of second-wave feminism,[1] and the backlash against initiatives and movements created during the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. It attempts to expand feminism to include women with a diverse set of identities[2][3] recognising that women are of “many colors, ethnicities, nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds”. Thus it can be seen as a reaction to or continuation of second-wave feminism, and constitutes a partial destabilization of constructs from the second wave. The related concept of intersectionality was introduced in 1989, a few years before the third wave began, but it was during this wave that the concept was embraced.

    Rebecca Walker coined the term “Third Wave” to highlight the focus on queer and non-white women.[4]

    In 1992, she published an article in response to the Anita Hill case, in order to express her offense at what she saw as the silencing of women by men who commit acts of sexual harassment and other forms of oppression, and who use their privilege to escape justice for such injustices, stating, “I am not a post-feminism feminist. I am the third wave”.[5] Walker sought to establish that third-wave feminism was not just a reaction, but a movement in itself, because women’s issues were far from over. Third-wave feminists have broadened their goals, focusing on ideas like queer theory, and abolishing gender role expectations and stereotypes.[6] Unlike the determined opposition of second-wave feminists to women in pornography, sex work, and prostitution,[7] third-wave feminists were rather ambiguous and divided about these themes (feminist sex wars).[8] While some thought these sexual acts were degrading and oppressing women, others saw it as empowering that women were owning their sexuality.[9] There was a divide in opinion but third-wave feminism embraced differences, personal narratives, and individualism, instead of all having one agenda (there were exceptions such as rape culture and equal pay). The focus was less on political changes and more on individualistic identity.[1]

    Well 3rd wave is easy enough, there’s a whole wiki page on it (generally anything from mid 90’s onwards).

    I’d plump for option 1 but without the assumptions on sexuality. Some people just love the drama, like I said they would get on well here. Vocal minority dickheads that discount anything anyone else says because privilege, love to use the term ‘mansplain’ and tell you what you are really thinking. Mass flouters of Wheaton’s Rule. More interested in the sound of their own voice than any sort of productive discussion. Also like shaming other women for “unfeminist” views, actions etc. (see asozial)

    Examples please

    Both shut down debate because it conflicts with their own viewpoint. Both go after and bully people who dare to suggest something that doesnt fit with their own viewpoint. Both take quotes out of context and hound people until they resign or go after their employers, sponsors etc. Both display sexist behavior (one predominatly sexist towards women, the other towards men), both display racist behaviour (one predominatly agianst people of colour, one against white people). Plently examples and material online should you care to go and look.

    it was more the “3rd wave” I was querying TBH.
