	The Dissident Feminist: Schools of Feminist Thought
		But this appears not to be the case: "equity feminism" is a term that has been at the center of controversy within feminist circles since at least 1994, and certainly has more real-world relevance to feminist policy than does the ridiculous and inflammatory non-movement called "feminazism".
		Since feminism itself resists all kinds of definitions by its very existence and aims, it is more accurate to say that there are all kinds of "flavors" and these flavors are mixed up every which way; there is no set of Baskin Robbins premixed flavors, as it were.
		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.

		Feminism has essentially started in the West and is at the forefront of the struggle for gender equality for women all over the world.
		Feminism has become an elitist institution, non-transcending of different race and ethnic groups and not connecting to the experiences of women at all levels.
		Feminism has not been transported across all societies; women in other parts of the world who are committed to advancement of women and are fighting for changes might not describe themselves as feminists.

		Mainstream feminism tells us that girls are in constant danger of being sexually abused by their fathers, that women face the same from their husbands, etc. Ifeminism says to get the state out of personal issues.
		The core principle of individualist feminism is that all human beings have a moral and legal claim to their own persons and property.
		Where mainstream feminism stands in support of the original goals of the feminist movement, the two philosophies are in agreement.

		Feminism presented the family as a kind of prison, with a working career on the outside as a kind of liberation.
		Feminism can grudgingly admit the former qualities [2] but is adamant that the latter qualities are merely the result of social conditioning.
		A fundamental move for early feminism was to distinguish between sex and gender, where sex, male or female, is about physical differences between the sexes, while gender, masculine or feminine, is about characteristics of behavior, demeanor, or psychology which feminism wished to claim are culturally constructed and conditioned and so ultimately arbitrary.

		Both continued to hold many of the important values of feminism -- the rights of women to be full participants in the polity; the rights of women to education; the rights of women, essentially to be persons.
		Gender equity feminists recognize too that arbitrary barriers have been in place that have impeded the advancement of women, but that there have been substantial gains in breaking down the artificial barriers.
		The equity feminist ought then to recognize the fact that every pregnancy involves at least two human beings, so the question becomes under what circumstances may the immature dependent human being be killed at the request of the more mature and more independent human being.

		Equity feminists, on the other hand, believe in the equality of the sexes, and work for equality of the sexes before the law and in society.
		Although there have been feminists in the past who would count as gender feminists, the majority of the feminists prior to the past two decades were rational individualists.
		Gender feminism is really only a very recent phenomena, and I think is very connected to the rise of continental philosophy.

		Showalter wearily protests, ``Feminism has a strong Enlightenment, rationalist tradition of debate and skepticism, whose memory I attempt to recover and reassert.'' She bravely points out that the great majority of these epidemics' self-proclaimed victims are women, even the alien abductees.
		Thus, equity feminism was much to blame for the imprisoning of so many young women day-care workers on absurd charges of raping children and eating babies.
		But equity feminism has made such stereotypes unacceptable, so all those young women, whose only crime was that they loved little kids so much they'd work with them for $5 an hour, had to go to jail.

		Her concern over the increasing radicalism of feminism is belied by her unstated and unwritten fear that the feminism with which she grew up--the feminism she has taken for granted--is in danger of being appropriated by lesbians.
		The threat posed by feminism and other radical disciplines that Hoff Sommers excoriates is the threat to traditional hierarchies of morality, religion, and the nuclear family, not to mention the traditional pedagogical structures of universities.
		In dismissing the work of feminists of colour and lesbians, Denfeld asserts that the feminism that speaks for her, and presumably for the majority of women, is that which is articulated by middle-class, heterosexual, white women.

		She is repelled by some of the tactics and notions of these extremists which includes ideas such as dating is prostitution or marriage is rape, and lesbians make better parents than heterosexuals.
		Betty Friedan is touted as the "godmother" of equity feminism.
		If that role is undermined, as it has been by much of feminism, both conservative and radical, then too many men will be beasts and too many women will be barren and abused as the consequence.

	CBLPI Gender Equity: Political Feminism Goes to School
		To understand why gender equity programs are absurd, you have only to confront the false or exaggerated assumption on which they are based-- the corrective measures they employ.
		The fundamental premise of gender equity can be summarized as follows: There are no inherent differences between men and women, other than those that are anatomical-- no emotional or mental traits that are inherently masculine or feminine (1).
		As its core, this concept is what gender equity education is all about-- putting an end to the distinction between boys and girls and instead pretending they are only different because we've made them believe they are different.

		Modern feminists like to argue that there is no one feminism, but from a perusal of the major feminist writers until the late decade of this century it is clear that there is a common core and a coherence to modern feminism that makes it an ideology, and its advocates ideologues.
		Classical, equity feminism asserted women's rights, on the basis of their being individual human beings of equal moral weight to men, and did not attempt to justify rights on the basis of victimhood.
		Betty Friedan's brand of modern feminism was not the revolutionary, man-hating feminism of Kate Millet, nor the man and feminine hating feminism of Germaine Greer and those who carried the feminist flag in the 1980s.

	tsenft: Third Wave Feminism: 1983-today.
		The term equity feminism is self-explantory, but I must admit that I have no idea what gender feminism is. And postructuralism could bite me on the butt and I still wouldn't recognise it.
		"Equity" feminism is also referred to as "liberal feminism", which is more or less tied to ideas inhereited from the first wave.
		Hmm, after having read your screed and this, I'm guessing that one contribution post-structuralism had on feminism was to show that gender roles and bias are cultural artifacts, specifically in the way we devalue things associated with the feminine or try to force females into preconceived (pun intended) roles such as motherhood and child rearing.

		Sommers draws a clear distinction between "equity feminism," the classical-liberal position characterized by the unobjectionable slogan, "Equal pay for equal work," and "gender feminism," the aggressive self-pitying whine of an army of professional victims that has come to dominate discussions of women's issues.
		Sommers traces classical-liberal equity feminism to the Seneca Falls convention of 1848.
		Gender feminism, as Sommers points out, is now an industry, with generous research funding, grant money, and careers available to those who propose to root out ever more arcane instances of oppression.

	Robert Bork on radical feminism
		Radical feminism is thus similar to causes such as the identity politics of the racial and ethnic programs on campuses.
		Patai and Koertge note "feminism's explicit assault not only on hierarchies generally but also on the boundaries between the public and private, the emotional and the intellectual." (12) Radical egalitarians necessarily hate hierarchies.
		This constellation of forces prompts the somber thought that radical feminism and the movement of which it is a part, modern liberalism, may be the wave of the future as countries develop economically.

	The Dissident Feminist: Home Page
		"Equity feminism" is the phrase that Christina Hoff Sommers coined to describe this faction of feminism, as opposed to its vengeful anti-male opposite "gender feminism".
		Is it much of a surprise that "ordinary women" tend to be much more generous in their definitions of equality than the strident radical-mainstream feminist establishment is? The needs of the ordinary woman are lost in the fervent radicalism of mainstream feminism.
		And as mainstream feminism grows more shrill, more demanding, more radically unrealistic, not only are men and conservatives alienated, but so are more of the women for whom the mainstream radicals claim to speak.

	Defining feminism: another perspective (UPDATED)

		Webster defines feminism as both "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" and "organized activity on the behalf of women's rights and interests" (Webster 418).
		Because Paglia believes that man's nature is inherently aggressive and poses a danger to women, she maintains that feminism of the academic type gives women a false sense of equality and ease.
		John Ellis concludes that gender feminism "poisons relations between the sexes, and catapults into leadership roles in the women's movement angry, alienated women who divert that movement from the necessary task of exploring feasible changes" (74).

		While proponents of this strand of feminism tend to reject biological determinism, psychoanalytic feminism is often considered essentialist, as it focuses on the unique female nature.
		Tong uses "gender feminism" as referring to "cultural feminism." Cultural feminism is a variety of feminism which emphasizes "essential" differences between men and women, based on biological differences in reproductive capacity.
		Notions that women are "inherently kinder and gentler" are one of the foundations of cultural feminism, and remain a major part of it.

	Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » “Equity feminism” and rape
		Equity feminists find it reasonable to approach the problem of violence against women by addressing the root causes of the general rise in violence and the decline in civility.
		Instead, according to “equity feminism,” rape has to be understood as a subcategory of gender-neutral “violence” and a “decline in civility,” and therefore has nothing to do with women being attacked at all.

		They also implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) agree that much of the leadership of feminism, and the most well known feminists are the worst sort of sexist bigots.

		There is a fundamental dishonesty about pretending that feminism is so open as to be a meaningless term when the issue is accountability, and then saying you are proud to be a feminist.

	Feminism
		Graglia explicitly opposes feminism as such, except perhaps the "social feminism" of the 19th century, on the principle that identical laws for men and women, which were opposed by the "social feminism," are harmful to women who chose a traditional domestic occupation.
		Feminist theory mostly still hates capitalism -- "patriarchy" is often simply equated with war, racism, and capitalism; feminism with pacifism, socialism, environmentalism, multiculturalism, and even vegetarianism -- in short, any case that might be regarded as "progressive" from a leftist point of view.
		And that is the kind of response that feminism began eliciting in the 70's.

		It appears that a growing number of them associate feminism with anger and hostile rhetoric and have therefore concluded that they are not really feminists.
		London: The tone of feminism has become angrier and more resentful, and the explanation is often that there has been a "backlash" in the culture.
		London: You use the phrase "equity feminism." Some women feel that feminism largely misses the point by defining liberation as the freedom to act as a man. They feel that this idea overlooks many of the unique qualities that women have that are not necessarily tied to equality.
