Is the Second Wave and the Third Wave Generational? _ Like Everything Else?

I found it illuminating to read the responses of my fellow classmates in my Women's Studies course, who are ( on the whole) of the so-called Third Wave.

As is generally the case when discussing 'how things were' those members of a younger generation are always simply amazed by all that we, who went before them, went through.  Their lack of historical perspective is never a surprise to me.  In any arena!But, I am always uplifted by their open attitude to finding out about the world as it used to be.

One of my younger classmates stated that she was sickened by the horrible sexist and racist comments that were made during the last election by her male relatives.  Unfortunately, in many cases, things have just not changed.

Ignorance is a stubborn thing.
