By definition

For a little defining help, Wikipedia has kindly defined both primitive feminism (which it calls "second wave feminism" Second Wave Feminism), and contemporary feminism (which it calls "radical feminism" Radical Feminism). In case you were wondering who won out in the historical pantheon, look around at your profession, if you have one. Is there a women-only group among you? Is there a need for it now? How much power does this group have and why do they have it? Does the group exist for equality, or for political or economic perquisites, and if the latter, are they really any different than the patriarchal power-brokers they replaced?
