what is the third wave of feminism. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-wave_feminism
  • Focus is basically to bring feminism to other cultural groups, religions, races.  
  • maternity leave and motherhood 
  • rape. 
  • derogatory terms
  • in my opinion: women's representation in media  
  • pro-choice.  and birth control.  
  • some international work for women's rights.  
What actions have been taken.  (list of various actions)

Scholarships, conferencing on empowerment and issues, slut walk, probably some lobbying.  Individuals supporting specific issues like Sandra fluke,  Roe vs. Wade, killing us softly (video), and women's publications: magazines and books.

------
This is intended to be non-biased information.  Just the facts of what a group claims.  
My opinion will be in a second or third post.  This is just so readers and writer can both be informed.   I actually know the publication magazines, books, yahoo answers responses, roe vs wade, killing us softly, other women's publications, and the slut walk.  I also know about the women in physics conference which may not be directly tied to the feminist groups  (not exactly sure).  (But I don't know about feminist conferences which may kill any of my arguments if you will kindly cite them for any argument in my next post. I also know about dissenting opinions and injustices against men specifically on youtube and on yahoo answers.  I also didn't read too much into LGBT, but have heard the opinions of a LGBT community in real life and online.  If I'm not lazy I'll write a second post just for information on LGBT rights.  I'll also try look more into injustices in male rights because they obviously exist especially when it comes to jail time, their stereotypes as subpar parents and emotionless robots, and family courts.  If you have good sites, i would like to know them.   :)
