The Four Concepts of Post-Feminism

1. Post-feminism as backlash to feminism:

From what I have read about Post-feminism, it is the idea that we have reached equality against men, and this era moves on from that gender war.

2. Post-feminism as a colloquialism:

It's a similar idea to the "moving on from feminism". Though the movement has been controversial, it's still lingering around in society by announcing we are in its post era.

3. The ambiguity of the prefix “post”:

It's not clear what post feminism is- is it that we have reached equality and now we are moving on, or is it that the feminist era has died and equality hasn't been achieved and probably won't be?

4. A more positive look at post-feminism:

As society has often looked down at the idea of of feminism, post- feminism almost encourages a positive look on feminism saying "we've got what we wanted now, it's over" to society.
