t hird-wave feminism began in the early 1990s and continues<br />

to this day. This wave of feminism includes a diverse array of<br />

strands and micro-politics, but it's most important aspect is<br />

intersectionality, including different racial backgrounds and<br />

gender identities, incorporating the queer community, debating<br />

how those groups are distinctively affected by the patriarchy,<br />

Gender binaries and their expectations are questioned, derogatory<br />

terms are taken back. The Riot Grrrl movement is seen as the root<br />

of this wave and wanted to empower women's control over their<br />

own expression. Further on, with the internet, third-wave feminists<br />

have the unique possibility to engage, understand, inform and give<br />

voice to a greatly large and diverse audience.
