Still thinking about Post-feminism


I had mentioned this in a previous post, but given our reading and discussion of Post-feminism this past week, I wanted to talk a little more about Woke Charlotte in a non-core piece. Woke Charlotte is a series of memes from Sex and the City where Charlotte calls out her friends and others for their ignorance and micro-agressions. I think this is an excellent example of post-feminism V. current-feminism. Post-feminist Charlotte, like the other characters, took feminism into account only to ignore and dismiss it. These memes show how highly problematic this perspective can be, and the writer behind them (not Darren Starr) seems to be trying to rectify/ draw attention to this.
