  • Liberal Feminism
    • Views on the Patriarchy
      • Did not view Patriarchy as systemic oppression
        • The patriarchy can be abolished through small changes, mainly through legislation
          • View the patriarchy as discriminatory against women
      • View the patriarchy as discriminatory against women
      • The patriarchy can be abolished through small changes, mainly through legislation
      • Sex and Gender
        • Women and men are equal and should have equal opportunities
        • The distinction between sex and gender was made by the patriarchy and so is artificial
      • 'Person is political'
        • Reject 'the person is political'
        • Main focus integrating women into the public sphere
        • Want to see all barriers preventing women from the public sphere to be removed
          • Main focus integrating women into the public sphere
      • Difference vs equality
        • Liberal feminists tend to mostly be equality feminists
        • Men and Women are fundamentally equal and entitled to the same rights and liberties
      • Intersectionality
        • All women are equal despite differences in class, religion and ethnicity
        • Did not see that different women experience the patriarchy differently
          • NOTE: Liberal is associated with first wave feminism( late 1800s - early 1900s) meaning most outspoken feminists were upper/middle class white women.
      • Reform vs Revolution
        • Liberal feminists are reformists
        • Society will gradually change
        • Gradual change will happen as more women are integrated into roles previously seen as 'male' or male dominated roles
