	Individualist feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Individualist feminism is a blanket term for different forms of individualist feminist ideas.
		A core principle of individualist feminism is that all human beings have a moral and / or legal claim to their own persons and property, not to any sort of affirmative action policies or privileges.
		Thus individualist feminism is distinct from both mainstream and radical feminist movements.

	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women.
		Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense is often dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education.
		Feminism has effected many changes in Western society, including women's suffrage; broad employment for women at more equitable wages; the right to initiate divorce proceedings and the introduction of "no fault" divorce; the right to obtain contraception and safe abortions; and the right to university education.

	The Dissident Feminist: Schools of Feminist Thought
		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.
		Amazon feminism is concerned about physical equality and is opposed to gender role stereotypes and discrimination against women based on assumptions that women are supposed to be, look or behave as if they are passive, weak and physically helpless.

	Beyond Patriarchy:
		Libertarians agree with conservatives that the state is the chief threat to freedom, and that private associations must be protected from governmental interference.
		Some libertarians have concluded that the anti-paternalist argument does indeed apply to children, and maintain that it is wrong to restrain children in any way as long as the children aren't hurting anybody else; such libertarians maintain that children should have full rights to sign contracts or have sex with adults.
		Libertarians are often reluctant to recognize entrenched power structures when they don't come attached to governmental offices; but we should always remember that power and tyranny are older than the state.

	Smaller Feminist Schools: From Global To Marxist
		Libertarian feminism is a right-wing political movement that is very closely related to Anarchy feminism.
		Libertarian feminists believe that women's oppression is caused, served, and maintained by government regulation and interference.
		Libertarian feminists often choose not to call themselves Anarchist; for whereas Anarchist feminists emphasize the destruction of the state first and independence a close second, Libertarian feminists emphasize independence first and the decline of the state a close second.

	What Kind of Feminist Are You?
		Amazon feminism is dedicated to the image of the female hero in Greek mythology, as it is expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of female athletes, and in sexual values and practices.
		Amazon feminism focuses on physical equality and is opposed to gender role stereotypes and discrimination against women based on assumptions that women are supposed to be, look, or behave as if they are passive, weak and physically helpless.
		Male feminism seeks to unearned privilege as it has been afforded to men and defines and understands it as unjust, acknowledge just how harmful men (include male feminist) oppressive actions have been to others, and try to envision non-oppressive ways of being in the world.

	Libertarian Feminism: Can This Marriage Be Saved?: Roderick Long and Charles Johnson (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Libertarians are often unimpressed by feminist worries about social norms that disable anything a woman says from counting as declining consent to sexual access, but they are indignant at theories of tacit or hypothetical consent that disable anything a citizen says from counting as declining consent to governmental authority.
		Libertarian temptations to the contrary notwithstanding, it makes no sense to regard the state as the root of all social evil, for there is at least one social evil that cannot be blamed on the state — and that is the state itself.
		Libertarian feminism, then, should seek to shift the radical feminist consensus away from state action as much as possible; but the shift should not be the shift away from radicalism that libertarian feminists such as McElroy and Taylor have envisioned.

	A New View of Feminism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		To individualist feminism, equality was achieved when the individual rights of women were fully acknowledged under laws that identically protected the person and property of men and women.
		The conflicting concepts of justice between radical and individualist feminism highlight one of the key differences in their approach to social problems: namely, the willingness of socialist or radical feminists to use the State.
		Catherine MacKinnon refers to the analysis as "post-Marxist." By this, she means that radical feminism embraces many aspects of Marxism but rejects its insistence that economic status, not gender, is the salient political factor that determines a class.

		Feminism began during The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education.
		For example, Radical feminism argues for the existence of an oppressive patriarchy that is the root cause of the most serious social problems.
		Opponents of feminism claim that women's quest for external power, as opposed to the internal power to affect other people's ethics and values, has left a vacuum in the area of moral training, where women formerly held sway.

	Different Types of Feminist Theory
		Feminism is the organized movement which promotes equality for men and women in political, economic and social spheres.
		Liberal feminism was most popular in the 1950's and 1960's when many civil rights movements were taking place.
		In contrast to ideals of liberal feminism, which tend to focus on the individual woman, the socialist feminist theory focuses on the broader context of social relations in the community and includes aspects of race, ethnicity and other differences.

	Why feminism is wrong
		Some of them, such as libertarian feminism, are even difficult to distinguish as a feminism - it seems to be 100% libertarianism, without any specifically feminist component.
		Post-structuralist feminism, which is often called post-feminism, is full of this syncretist rhetoric.
		A feminism that constitutes a movement for the preservation of gender is conservative, and therefore wrong.

		First-wave feminism was the feminist movement in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, which primarily focused on gaining the right of women's suffrage.
		Second-wave feminism refers to a period of feminist thought that originated around the 1960s and was mainly concerned with independence and greater political action to improve women's rights.
		Unlike second-wave feminism, which largely focused on the inclusion of women in traditionally male-dominated areas, third-wave feminism seeks to challenge and expand common definitions of gender and sexuality.

		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.
		Individualist feminism and libertarianism are similar in that both philosophies uphold individual freedom and personal responsibility as core values.
		Where mainstream feminism stands in support of the original goals of the feminist movement, the two philosophies are in agreement.

		Sad news from the world of libertarianism feminism: Joan Kennedy Taylor died last week, at the age of 79, after a long battle with cancer and kidney disease.
		Although she didn’t hesitate to confront issues head on, she didn’t believe that that head-on confrontation meant slash-and-burn political jockeying; and (as I’ve remarked before) this made her efforts towards a libertarian feminism genuinely transformative and not just oppositional — a conversation between libertarianism and feminism instead of just a shouting match.
		And also that libertarianism and feminism were more than just logically compatible; that they might have a lot to contribute to each other.

	FIOAR Responses: Free Radical Debates
		It is possible (and ultimately, necessary) to view feminism as the specific application of individualist-Objectivist principles to women's issues, for the same reason that it is possible to view libertarianism as the specific application of individualist-Objectivist principles to the general realm of politics.
		Interestingly, White agrees with Lamont's repudiation of feminism, but qualifies that agreement with the argument "that Objectivism is 'entirely compatible with the direction of nineteenth century feminism.'" (White refers to TFR #36 as a previous acknowledgment of this position, but the reader will find there only White's summary of Nathaniel Branden's points.
		Whether or not White accepts the validity of feminism, he still does not recognize the importance of our volume in centering on such questions and in giving alternative voices a chance to be heard--including those, like his own, who have had much to say in the aftermath of the volume's publication.

	Introduction to Individualist Feminism. Part One
		Socialist feminism advocates socio-economic equality and its approach to justice is ends-oriented -- it defines justice in terms of a specific social condition.
		According to socialist feminism, gender is the political characteristic that defines a class.
		As an organized force, American feminism is often dated -- and, I believe, correctly so -- from the radical anti-slavery movement, known as Abolitionism, that arose in the early 1830s and coalesced around the libertarian William Lloyd Garrison.
