I'm really confused. Are we onto third or fourth wave feminism yet? I thought body shaming was bad and the modelling industry was evil.

Aren't we always being appealed to, as nerds, to empathize with groups that are underrepresented in tech, because we too, didn't fit in in high school?

I don't think quoting one thing from the article out of context is "disagree and rather than derail the discussion" as you say in your other comment.

I thought third wave feminism "took back" modelling and porn?

Edit: this isn't a joke, it's something I actually heard from a few sources.

Nope, there's still no clear consensus between sex-positive, sex-negative and lipstick feminist theorists.

Cool, so in the meantime I will just assume they are all right :)

So some people think it's ok and others think something different? Damn, I might have to think for myself soon...
