	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The feminist movement was rooted in the progressive movement and especially in the reform movement of the 19th century.
		Feminists are also often proponents of using gender-inclusive language, such as "humanity" instead of "mankind", or "he or she" in place of "he" where the gender is unknown.
		These feminists argue that the assumption of a global experience as a woman is based on a white middle-class experience in which gender oppression is primary, and cannot apply to women for whom gender oppression may come second to racial or class oppression.

	Feminist Aesthetics
		Feminists in general have concluded that, despite the seemingly neutral and inclusive theoretical language of philosophy, virtually all areas of the discipline bear the mark of gender in their basic conceptual frameworks.
		Feminist artists have challenged the ideas that art's main value is aesthetic, that it is for contemplation rather than use, that it is ideally the vision of a single creator, that it should be interpreted as an object of autonomous value (Devereaux 1998).
		Feminist interpretations are sometimes informed by Marxism and its varieties; and as we have already noted in the case of film and theories of the gaze, psychoanalytic theories have been widely appropriated in critical theory.

	LII: Law about...Feminist Jurisprudence
		Feminist jurisprudence is a philosophy of law based on the political, economic, and social equality of sexes.
		Feminists believe that history was written from a male point of view and does not reflect women's role in making history and structuring society.
		Feminists challenge the belief that the biological make-up of men and women is so different that certain behavior can be attributed on the basis of sex.

	Feminist Ethics
		Considered together the overall aim of all feminist approaches to ethics, irrespective of their specific labels, is to create a gender-equal ethics, a moral theory that generates non-sexist moral principles, policies, and practices.
		Proponents of these varied schools of feminist thought maintain that the destruction of all systems, structures, institutions, and practices that create or maintain invidious power differentials between men and women is the necessary prerequisite for the creation of gender equality.
		Feminist ethicists have a moral duty first to listen to each others' differing points of view, and then to develop a theory and practice that, despite their shortcomings, will nevertheless help inch as many women as possible towards the goal of gender equality with men.

	ArtLex on Feminism and Feminist Art
		Feminist theory must take into account the circumstances of most women's lives as mothers, household workers, and caregivers, in addition to the pervasive misconception that women are genetically inferior to men.
		Feminist art notes that significant in the dominant (meaning especially Western) culture's patriarchal heritage is the preponderance of art made by males, and for male audiences, sometimes transgressing against females.
		Although feminist art has arisen more from the concerns of artists of one gender, and some of those concerns are sexual in nature, more often than not feminist issues have been about women's power in arenas of which sexuality (reproductive acts and roles) is an important part.

	Philosophical Dictionary: Fact-Feynman
		Feminists differ widely in their accounts of the origins of patriarchy, their analyses of its most common consequences, and their concrete proposals for overcoming it, but all share in the recognition that the subordination of women to men in our culture is indefensible and eliminable.
		Many feminist philosophers oppose Cartesian dualism, scientific objectivity, and traditional theories of moral obligation as instances of masculine over-reliance on reason.

	Kathryn Jean Lopez on The Passion of Christ & Feminism on National Review Online
		I don't think many self-described feminists would agree, but there is something unique about women, and Gibson's movie captures it perfectly in Mary, Mary Magdalene, Veronica (who voluntarily wipes Christ's face along his arduous road to Calvary), and Claudia.
		He shows a real understanding of the depth of women's feeling and the unique role that follows from it: that of giving support and guidance.
		It's something the likes of a Susan B. Anthony understood, though modern-day feminists would rather we forget it.
