German pop feminism rejects the images of anti-male, anti-sex, and anti-pleasure shown by the ideological and dogmatic second-period feminism, and pursues a sexy, enjoyable, and intelligent feminism with men. In this context, pop feminism moves away from viewing women as victims of abortion, pornography, and prostitution, and presents a new image of a woman who confidently reveals the pleasures and desires of her own body without being shy, positively embraces the grotesque female body.
Roche has established herself as a representative female writer of pop feminism by publishing the novel <Feuchtegebiete> provocatively theming the female body and sexuality. In the novel <Feuchtegebiete>, the author uses the device of a first-person narrative novel and frame novel to tell Helen, a free, cheerful, and positive new generation girl, the process of healing her body and mind with a sexual fantasy without taboos. In addition, the grotesque image of the obscene female body is expressed comically to convey the theme of feminism in a pleasant way, while at the same time highlighting Helen’s subjective view of the female body, destroying the patriarchal male gaze composition. However, the white-centered and heterosexual view of the female body and attempts to solve female problems at the individual level can be pointed out as the limitations of pop feminism in this novel.
