Topics in Feminism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Feminism is both an intellectual commitment and a political movement that seeks justice for women and the end of sexism in all forms. Although the term "feminism" in English is rooted in the mobilization for woman suffrage in Europe and the US during the late 19th and early 20th century, of course efforts to obtain justice for women did not begin or end with this period of activism. Feminism is grounded on the belief that women are oppressed or disadvantaged by comparison with men, and that their oppression is in some way illegitimate or unjustified. plato.stanford.edu /entries/feminism-topics   (6645 words)

Feminism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Feminism is generally said to have begun in the 19th century as people increasingly adopted the perception that women are oppressed in a male-centered society (see patriarchy). This form of feminism was popular in the so-called second wave (a "wave" being a large major change in general feminist ideas), though is not as prominent today, however many identify the word "feminism" to mean the ideas proposed by Radical feminism which is not the case. This mostly Western debate about feminism should not distract from the fact that the major goal of the feminist movement in the 21st century is to improve the situation of women in non-Western countries. www.1-free-software.com /en/wikipedia/f/fe/feminism.html   (3118 words)

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, especially socially, politically, and economically within a context of patriarchy. Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense may be usefully dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education. Feminism became an organized movement in the 19th century as people increasingly came to believe that women were being treated unfairly. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Feminism   (3929 words)

History of feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of feminism reaches far back before the 18th century, but the seeds of the feminist movement were planted during the latter portion of that century. Radical feminism was a significant development in second wave feminism, viewing women's oppression as a fundamental element in human society and seeks to challenge that standard by broadly inverting perceived gender roles along with promoting lesbian and gay rights. Outside of the West, feminism is often associated with Western colonialism and Western cultural influence, and is therefore often delegitimized. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_feminism   (1818 words)

Feminism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Feminism is a social theory and political movement primarily informed and motivated by the experience of women. This form of feminism was popular in the so-called second wave (a "wave" being a large major change in general feminist ideas), though it is not as prominent today. However, the basic values of feminism (gender equality of rights and opportunities) have become so integrated into Western culture as to be accepted over-whelmingly as valid, and non-conformity to those values characterized as unacceptable, by the same men and women who reject the label "feminist". www.yotor.com /wiki/en/fe/Feminism.htm   (3803 words)

Introduction to Feminism, Topics Feminism brings many things to philosophy including not only a variety of particular moral and political claims, but ways of asking and answering questions, critiques of mainstream philosophical views and methods, and new topics of inquiry. Given the controversies over the term "feminism" and the politics of circumscribing the boundaries of a social movement, it is sometimes tempting to think that there is little point in demanding a definition of the term beyond a set of disjuncts that capture different instances. Disagreements within feminism can occur with respect to either the descriptive or normative claim, e.g., feminists differ on what would count as justice or injustice for women (what counts as "equality," "oppression," "disadvantage"?), and what sorts of injustice women in fact suffer (what aspects of women's current situation are harmful or unjust?). www.mit.edu /~shaslang/papers/femintro.html   (5508 words)

The world's top feminism websites Marriage has also suffered, with some women of the opinion that marriage is an institution that oppresses women, thus opting for co-habilitation instead. Some males, as well as females, find that some feminists are effectively preaching hate against males or claiming male inferiority - if the words "male" and "female" would be replaced by "fl" and "white" respectively, some of their feminist writings would sound like racist propaganda. Whilst this view is rejected by a number of feminists, some of those who claim that men are oppressed note that in the USA, males suicide 4 times more frequently than females, leading them to say that the USA is becoming a country where males are severely oppressed. dirs.org /wiki-article-tab.cfm/feminism   (3308 words)
