Third-wave feminism has been around since at least the early 1990s; I'd be very surprised if you had written your thesis before that.
I'm not sure how Susan Faludi's work is categorized in terms of "waves," but it's quite recent and worth checking out, particularly Stiffed, which quite specifically addresses the ways men have been injured by the gender system. You also may want to get your feet wet with an anthology from one of the more well-known third-wave feminist magazines -- there's The Bust Guide to the New Girl Order and BitchFest. I recommend the latter more strongly. I also read and enjoy both magazines on a regular basis; I feel any given issue of Bitch is likely to contain good foood for thought and conveys a sense of the true diversity of feminist perspectives (as well as pointing you in the direction of more reading material from recent authors who are in their 20s and 30s, but on whose names I'm drawing a blank right now).
