	Difference feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Difference feminism is a branch of feminism that stresses that men and women are essentially very different beings, instead of past feminisms of equality that stress a fundamental sameness between men and women in some way.
		Difference feminisms may have arisen due to issues with legislation - equality feminisms may have assured that women have gotten suffrage for one, as well as other rights, but for more important and influential changes (for example, medical related support), the assertion that women are different was necessary to make.
		Difference feminism was important in responding to problems resulting to women not being given proper provision for differing needs that they may have; for example biological reasons such as for childbirth, and others.

		Feminism is advocacy of the rights of women based on the theory of equality of the sexes.
		Liberal feminism does not mean that women should become more like men, but that women should have the same legal rights of citizenship afforded men, that they should have equal access to the existing culture.
		If feminism and the women's movement mean advocacy of and enthusiasm for the inalienable human rights and achievements of women, then feminism must strive to redress inequalities in the protection and distribution of those rights.

		The essential equality of all people is fundamental to the message of Jesus Christ, who insisted that the concern of his disciples be the exercise of submission and servanthood, rather than the effort to claim or attain status and authority (Matt.
		Biblical equality is a consequence of God's act of salvation in the new covenant, as indicated in Galatians 3:26-28, which states that we are all "sons," or heirs, in Christ, and that there is no longer any distinction in spiritual privilege or prerogative between Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female.
		Equality is reflected in the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:5, 9; Rev. 1:6), and in repeated New Testament exhortations to believers to honor one another and to be humble and submissive toward one another (Matt.

	Equality feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is fundamentally at odds with difference feminism and expresses the crucial similarities between the 'male' and 'female' sexes.
		Similarly, in The Subjection of Women (1869), John Stuart Mill advocated that society ought to be arranged according to reason and that 'accident of birth' is irrelevant.
		Equality feminists believe that both men and women, while unquestionably biologically and anatomically different, enter the world with the genetic inheritance of a mother and a father and from that respect human nature is androgynous, neutral, and equal.

	Feminism, childcare, and family mental health: have women been misled by equality feminism? - The Natural Child Project
		She suggests that "equality is a poor substitute for liberation".
		Equality feminism relies on the (largely misconceived) dogma that gender differences are social constructs, and it prescribes equal treatment for girls and boys in education, careers and domestic situations.
		Liberation feminism (a related concept is "maternal feminism") takes it for granted that there should be equality of opportunity and remuneration, but regards biologically-based differences as important, especially in cognitive abilities, mating interests, and mothering — a term which equality feminism repudiated in favour of "parenting".

	Feminism? You want feminism? Which brand would you like?
		Feminism is exhibited by a spirit of unrest among a comparatively small number of dissatisfied women.
		Amazon feminism is dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as it is expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of female athletes, and in sexual values and practices.
		Although it is obvious that feminism is far from a unified ideology, other than perhaps that the vast majority of its various factions is to varying extents united in its opposition to traditional moral standards and especially all things male, there is another reality to the vast number of variations amongst feminist factions.

	Commentary: Catholic Feminism vs Equality Feminism
		Man and woman are equal in human dignity and personhood, yet different in a much more profound sense than merely the biological; "their equal dignity as persons is realized as a physical, psychological and ontological complementarity" (n.
		Scandinavian feminism, the foremost example of this equality tradition, has rightly opened the way for women in all professions outside the home and in political life, but has at the same time made it impossible for women (and men, for that matter) to work within the home, with children and with housework.
		This model of feminism is premised on the male model for women: we may imitate a male work life and a male political life, where all that can be hoped for is a parity between the sexes.

	What is Feminism? What is Womanism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The goal of feminism is equality--and that means both that women do what men have done (be fire fighters and corporate executives) and that men do what women have done (be stay-at-home fathers and secretaries).
		Given this, I think that feminism is a "full idealogy" because it involves an entire restructuring/rethinking of much of what we have experienced in our lifetimes---and even for most of this country's and your country's existence.
		Others prefer fl feminism because retaining the adjective makes racial experience more visible, and because failing to use the more familiar noun might be seen as deserting some of its basic beliefs and/or controversies; for instance, the false notion that feminism is synonymous with lesbianism, as opposed to including all females.

	"Feminism" - Innovations - Commons - Pedagogies - Romantic Circles
		Feminism is a popularly misconstrued movement that is often associated with burning bras and the superiority of the female over the male, although both are true for parts of feminism’s history.
		It would be also misguided to assume that the term “feminism” could be replaced with “equalism” because feminism identifies itself with women’s rights and equality rather than the equal rights of everyone.
		The first wave of feminism, termed “equality feminism,” was the movement of women demanding full legal equality, full educational and commercial opportunity, the right to collect wages, and the right to vote.

	wicked thoughts : selective equality
		One of the largest critiques of Feminism is that, despite its official mantra of being “about equality”, feminism as a whole tends to lack support for men and people of color.
		Feminism, like any other movement or political group, is too often defined by people outside of it, by its critics.
		Less obvious but equally present is the tendency for group members to assume other group members share traits with them beyond what is essential for group membership.

	ifeminists.com > editorial > Where Feminist Theory Has Gone Wrong
		The vision of such an equality is to be found in the rich tradition of individualist feminism which flourished in the 19th century and is emerging once more.
		Individualist feminism -- or ifeminism -- is generally based on natural law theory and on the derivative belief that all human beings are sovereign, or self-owners.
		One of the key ideological differences between socialist and individualist feminism resides in the concept of "class." A class is nothing more than an arbitrarily grouping of people who share a common characteristic, and the characteristic chosen depends entirely upon the purposes of the person defining the class.

		To the individualist, equality was a political term referring to the protection of individual rights; that is, protection of the moral jurisdiction every human being has over his or her own body.
		As an organized force, feminism dates from abolitionism in the early 1830s.(5) Abolitionism was the radical anti-slavery movement which demanded the immediate cessation of slavery on the grounds that every man was a self-owner; that is, every human being has moral jurisdiction over his or her own body.
		Her pamphlet, Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Woman (1837), used the individualist feminist approach of comparing women to slaves.

	Socialist Feminism: Is It Really Just A Class Issue?
		Whereas liberal feminism defines equality as comparable to the male status within society, socialist feminism defines equality as a condition onto itself and seeks to create this condition outside of a capitalist society.
		Socialist feminism argues the same position with one small difference: It applies socialist theory to gender issues, especially within the working class, and seeks to understand the nature of women's roles in society.
		And though socialist feminism fails to adequately address the male-female issue of power, it is steeped in a long and rich history of social politics, daring to envision a better world in which everyone is equal, free to pursue their dreams, and granted a safe and secure place in the world.

	Early Feminism: Equality, Ethical Theory and Religion
		Yet, although equality was believed to be a natural right, women were excluded from most benefits that evolved from the concept of equality.
		Many contemporary feminists believe that women were excluded from participation in equal rights because Enlightenment thinkers equated freedom and equality with rationality but equated women with the irrational.4 Whether men from selfish motivation posited such a view to defend their own thinking is probably an unanswerable question.
		Noting that Adam was a generic term denoting both sexes she wrote, “created in perfect equality, they were expected to exercise the vicegerence intrusted [sic] to them by their maker, in harmony and love.” In her commentary on the second chapter she notes the differences between humanity and all other created beings.

		Abolitionism was the radical anti-slavery movement which demanded the immediate cessation of slavery on the grounds that every man was a self-owner; that is, every human being has moral jurisdiction over his or her own body.
		After the war, the key issues for mainstream feminism were the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, all aimed at securing freedom for fls.
		Feminism employed blatantly white supremacist arguments to further suffrage, pointing out that white women would add to the white vote since they were more likely to vote than minority women.

		If women were equal then the spouse who stayed home and took care of the house, the spouse who raised the kids would be recognized financially for their contriabution to society, rather then losing financially.
		It seems to me that after reaching the point of equality of opportunity (which we are certainly approaching), then you have three intellectually honest choices regarding gender differences and sexism.
		What you are saying to me is like telling an abused child that they made the decision not to sand up to their abuser so they chose to be a victem and should deal with it.

	The Yale Herald - Feb 24, 2006 - The fight for feminism: why equality still matters
		Though their problems with feminism differed, they both had one thing right: Feminists at Yale are few and far between.
		Not only were two female writers writing about the failure of feminism; also next to their articles was a Herald advertisement for photographers.
		It is precisely because identifying yourself as a feminist means admitting that you are in a less powerful position in society, that you are oppressed, that you are a supposed victim of sexism.

	A Young Woman Theologian explores "Christian Feminism"
		Where she differs from man, a true feminism understands that these differences are constructive and complementary", Dr. de Solenni explained, echoing Pope John Paul II's well-known anthropology.
		Feminism can be divided into "about four basic categories", Dr. de Solenni told Zenit: equality feminism, difference feminism, anti-essentialist feminism and deconstructivist feminism.
		She said that Pope John Paul II has "most notably developed" a category of "difference feminism" that maintains complementarity, that is that man and woman are different but equal.

	Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » The narrowness of “equity feminism”
		An approach to feminism that divides feminists into “Hoff Sommers, McElroy and their allies” versus “all other feminists” is not useful to anyone who hasn’t already decided to hold the “all other feminists” catagory in contempt.
		I think a large part of the reason that conservative efforts to articulate ideas about women’s equality have been so poor is that they were begun entirely in the political arena as a response to the perceived political power of the feminist movement.
		My definition of feminism is the old boring dictionary one, of equality of opportunity for all and of equal valuation of what is traditionally viewed as feminine and masculine in the society.

		Politically, Feminism is about Equality between the Sexes.
		I didnt include the gay/straight/trans/bi example in my post since it was already previously discussed in a few places and was shown, in some cases, how that also can create a "selective equality".
		If this is in some way "unequal" of me (which I don't think it is since I see equality as a correcting of proportions) then I'm okay with that.

		He clearly treated women as equals to men, so that if He intended for them to be ordained like men, it is altogether plausible to assume He certainly would have made that teaching publicly also.
		Contraception and abortion flow from radical feminism, which presupposes the nonexistence of inherent gender differences (another cause is men's selfish, self-serving desire for free, ultimately manipulative sex without consequence).
