"In the early ’90s, it was grunge, everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore make up, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque, suddenly they’re the biggest band in the world. … And as you go all the way through the ’90s, the clothes just fall off the women until you get to the year 2000, and Britney Spears is just wearing a snake."

What Kind of Feminist Are YOU?

We want your feedback: What’s the best way to describe this generation of feminists, who embrace feminism, but also embrace femininity? Jessica Valenti has said she dislikes the term “fourth-waver,” but that’s indeed how the New York Times dubbed their interview with her late last year. In some sense, we’ve always considered ourselves post-feminists, but doesn’t that imply that feminism is dead? What about lipstick feminists—too loaded? Pop-feminism? Feminism lite? What brand of feminism do you practice?
