>first and second wave are quite different from "third wave", which is pretty much just misandry and victim-mongering

Not much difference, then, in nearly two centuries.

>a society based on free thinking/expression, freedom of speech, actual equality under the law, and due process.

Advocate for such a society, and see how fast the self-identified "Left" or "Marxists" brands you Right-wing, reactionory or both!

Incidently, the reactionary position would either ensure our freedom or at least keep the penalty small, so there's room for doubt regarding progress.
