New wave of feminism? Feminism has always meant only one thing - and that's the belief that women should have the same rights as men.
If you think a new wave of feminism = women only marrying to secure the funds of the husband, that's way off. If anything, women in the 1950s and previous eras before that, were often forced to marry because they weren't allowed or able to work. This meant that they HAD to marry in order to survive, this was not the choice of the women, it was a societal construct that was in place for generations because women did not have the same employable opportunities or rights as men.
These days, since thankfully, women do now have similar working opportunities, we can support ourselves independently and thus do not need to be forced into marriage just to survive. This means women do not need to marry for financial reasons.
So this new wave of feminism, or feminism in general, has nothing at all to do with women marrying men for their funds...
Just thought I'd clear that up.
