No, I mostly have encountered "post-feminist" used in that ugly, disingenuous way that really means, "Shut up about the sexual harassment you got at work today, baby, and get me a beer." It means that sexism still happens, but we're not supposed to talk about it anymore or even think about it. That's what "post-feminist" means in the larger culture, which is why I won't use it. I've been hearing a lot of good buzz about your novel and added it to my to-read list recently--hope you experience continued success! Hm.
