Radical Communism Vs Radical Feminism

Secondly, it is important to understand from a feminist point of view that the process of gender division is not equally distributed within male and female. Division of Labour is unjust among women and male, men holds the higher title such as the most work that women can do as equally as them. Feminist believed and predicted that division of labour kept women out of labour market altogether and assign jobs that they thought women can handle. Women roles

Radical feminists have paved the way for so many women to stand up for themselves. Many rights were made available to all women because of radical feminists. Their presence, their energy, their ideology was desperately needed during a difficult time of oppression. Some feminine acts of oppression are still frowned upon today as a form of oppression. “I would rather be a bad feminist then to not a feminist at all”, a quote by Roxanne Gay, but in this generation why should feminists have to choose between being a “good” or “bad” feminist?

Marxists believe that the most deprived people shouldn’t have a good education and the least deprived people need more of an education so they can get into the better jobs. Least deprived people have more money and more control, Marxists are for this and would rather

Liberal feminism is grounded in the ideological framework of liberalism and therefore shares a commonality with liberal themes of human nature. Whilst acknowledging the biological differences between sexes, early liberal feminists argued that prevailing liberal ideas should also be applied to women. Therefore, both men and women possesses natural rights, they should have equal rights under law and share equal opportunity (Beasley 1999).

The debate over equal gender pay has been and will continue to be a core issue among social feminists and can be seen as an apparent movement within the third wave of feminism. Socialist feminism relates to radical feminism for it recognizes the oppression of women within a patriarchal society (Kirk, Okazawa-Rey, G-6), however social feminism does not see gender as the foundation of all oppression. A gap in salary of the genders not only oppresses women, but it is a catalyst for oppression in society as a whole and a key component of socialist feminism is the idea of other oppressed groups being recognized, bringing to light this idea of intersectionality. Steinem addresses this issue of gender pay gaps in regards to political campaigns and the separation of “economic issues” and “women’s issues.” The argument made by Steinem is that these issues are one in the same, the solution to the

Many years ago Feminism did not exists, woman were not allowed to vote, work and contribute to society, Feminism is a movement that shares a common goal of equality,political,sexual orientation,race, and economic status. Feminism are in many forms including liberal feminism, socialist feminism and radical feminism. Liberal feminism is a form of feminist theory, that focuses on a woman's ability to maintain their equality through their actions and their choices, society may believe a woman are by nature less intellectually and physical incapable than men. Socialist feminism looks at a woman in a capitalist society, socialist feminism and Marxism are very common, they both look at the world and how it functions around them. For example in America woman are paid less then men, society will view this as sexist towards female. Social feminist is a movement which calls for an end to capitalist through a socialist reformation of economic, they believe capitalism supports men more then woman because they are believed to have more power and money then women. Cultural feminism believes we should encourage feminist

The main view of liberal feminism is that all people are created equal by God and deserve equal rights. These types of feminists believe that oppression only exists because of the way men and women are socialized by society, which supports patriarchy and keeps men in powerful positions. Liberal feminists believe that women have the same mental capacity as males and should

Daniel Drezner explains the ideas that many feminist’s share: the world is vastly different for women than it is for men. The gap between the genders is to the detriment of women. Radical feminist would concur with this point. Radical feminism centers on the idea that the suppression of the female gender is the main focus of all oppression within the world (Rowland and

Liberal feminism wanted to integrate women into modern day society. The argument was that social problems were mostly caused by the ignorance and social constraints of freedom of choice for women. The inequality in gender resulted from the socialization that forces everyone to grow up with the wrong ideas that men and women cannot choose how to live their own lives. They have been taught from the beginning of life that men and women are

Firstly, Liberal feminist are focused on human and civil rights and freedom of individuals, to summarise, they believe that all humans should have equal rights within their society. They believe that society changing itself to help women does not happen. Liberal feminists believe the status of women changing can become a reality if laws that are oppressing for women change because it would create more opportunities for women to prove that they are equal to men. Oakley explains a difference between sex and gender. Oakley believes sex differences are set

Marxist Feminist believes work is a social process and it is central to shape and transform the material and social worlds and create people become who they are (MacKinnon, 1982). Social class shapes the access in different groups to services and resources in the society. It also shapes the interaction between people and the opportunity that people have in their life. Marxist feminist believes women have a second class status within the society and family because of the actions that are undertaken by the capitalists.

Marxist feminism is a sub-category of the larger feminist theory; this kind of feminism is primarily attentive to explaining how women are oppressed through capitalist systems and the emergence of the concept of private property. According to Marxist feminists, women's true emancipation, all over the world, can only be achieved through a fundamental reorganization of the capitalist economy that does not fairly compensate women's labor. Additionally, Marxist feminists do criticize Marx for what they think was his partial analysis of sexism under capitalism and total indifference to gender imbalance. However, they do not dismiss the basic Marxist fundamentals.

Liberal feminism is a somewhat conservative form of feminism by today’s standards, although it is rooted classically in liberalism. Liberal feminism leans towards an equality of sameness with men (not a difference feminism).

The Marxist's perspective is dominantly based on economic factors and over emphasizes them; money is assumed to be everything within society and social life. In my view, something is clearly missing here such as values and other social factors. Assuming that money is everything within society leads to assumptions that those owning the productive and therefore economic resources are given the power and use it to control those without to maintain their hegemony. Further factors that can form and shape society like gender, ethnicity, age, culture etc. are not taken into consideration and neglected. Hence the Marxist perspective focuses on having versus not having, earning versus not earning and powerful versus powerless.

Secondly, liberal feminism has been criticised because it tends to assume that all women accept their gender identities in a passive way. Liberal feminism also does not take race or class into consideration. Marxist feminists believe women's subordination is down to the influence of capitalism. Women are seen as a reserve army of labour.' Companies only hire them when they really need them, and they do less important jobs than men, making them more disposable. Women change jobs more frequently than men, so are more vulnerable at times of redundancy, they tend to be less skilled, and capitalist ideologies locate women in the home.
