Abstract: Focusing in on a point of convergence among the three reactions generously shared regarding Yoder, Snell, and Tobias (2012), the author revisits our original interpretation of the configuration we labeled awakening feminism as well as its implications for counseling practice. Rather than regard awakening feminism as a distressful stage through which some college students may pass on the way to established feminism, the infusion of a social justice agenda into our very definition of optimal individual and collective functioning may call for the merger of a strong sense of justice entitlement (along with some personal entitlement)--as the hallmarks of awakening feminism--into established feminism. Because established feminism is associated with generally favorable individual, interpersonal, and collective outcomes, some college women may be able to not only (personally) withstand but also (politically) benefit from some moral outrage, thus finding optimal functioning in both personal well-being and a social justice agenda.
