- Sex and Gender
- Women and men are equal and should have equal opportunities

- 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
