		Feminism is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerned with the experiences of women.

		Feminism has always been portrayed as a movement solely for women, a movement with which men needn’t be bothered and a movement in which men aren’t welcome.

	Feminist Perspectives on the Self
		Separatist associations provide forums in which women can exchange personal confidences, secure in the knowledge that other participants will empathize with their dissatisfactions and frustrations as well as their joys and triumphs and that others will be receptive to their worries and complaints.
		Within separatist contexts, women find support for their resistance to social norms and their struggles to overcome personal privations or pressures.
		In virtue of their suffering and alienation, these individuals are well situated not only to discern which values and practices in their heritage deserve allegiance but also to identify shortcomings in the traditions of the groups to which they belong.

		Carol Gilligan on the one hand, who believe that there are important differences between the sexes (which may or may not be inherent, but which cannot be ignored), and those who believe that there are no essential differences between the sexes, and that the roles observed in society are due to conditioning.
		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.
		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".

		A sort of evil twin of power feminism, victim feminism is responsible for "man-bashing," overt censorship, and a pervasive elitism that has forced the vast population of women to turn from Bella to Oprah to get their needs met.

	WHY HAS FEMINISM FAILED WOMEN?
		Kathy McAfee and Myrna Wood writing Bread and Roses in 1969 recognised the shortcomings of personal liberation through consciousness raising and they correctly accused the radical separatists of representing a form of biological determinism by reinforcing the notion that men and women were intellectually and emotionally different.
		In this system we are taught to relieve our fears and frustrations by brutalising those weaker than we are: a man in uniform turns into a pig; the foreman intimidates the man on the line; the husband beats his wife, child, dog.
		The theory of patriarchy meant the rejection of the socialist explanation of women's oppression, which was that the source of women's oppression lies in class society.

		AMMAN — Feminism will survive in the century to come but it has to be adapted to suit its respective societies, said a Jordanian scholar on Thursday.
		Fakir believes that feminists in the 1970s made a mistake in applying a “radical, separatist feminism” which she said many believe has set back women's achievements to the time between the 1920s and 1950s.
		The radical feminism of the 1970s had the connotation of insanity, and that women not only got rid of their restrictions, but also of their brains,” Fakir said in her lecture.

		The rebirth of American feminism emerged in part from the New Left’s probing of the political dimension of personal life, but also from the discrimination many young women faced within the movement itself.
		And really all of it was “should women struggle in the left?” and the separatists said “No.” I think today probably all of those women, if we were together would probably agree a lot on the interrelationship of all the different focuses that the women’s movement and the necessity of all of them.
		Yet when women tried to get together with separatists they were again challenged to say that working with men was bad, you know, all the time.

		This article from Commonweal magazine, which appeared in November 2003, examines the "new feminism" championed by Pope John Paul II and the ways in which the author believes it falls short.
		In what I think is a terrific example of the theory that a fan can make anything relate to the fandom, Notre Dame professor Cathleen Kaveny argues that the pope's conception of the role of women could benefit from a few Buffy viewings:
		The pope rejects sexism, as well as both "sameness" and "separatist" feminism, for the same basic reason: they undermine the dignity of women because they are untrue to the complex reality of the nature and situation of women.
