  Feminism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
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).
There have been changes also in attitudes towards sexual morality and behaviour with the onset of second wave feminism and "the Pill": women are then more in control of their body, and are able to experience sex with more freedom than was previously socially accepted for them.
This sexual revolution that women were then able to experience was seen as positive as it enabled women and men to experience sex in a free and equal manner.

 What are the basic elements of Feminism? What are the differences between liberal and radical feminism
So liberal feminists campaign for the removal of the social, economic, political and legal obstacles that deny women the same freedom as men.
While liberal feminists wish to create equality in society and are quite happy to live with men so long as they are not treated as lesser citizens, some radical feminists wish to see a policy, which would see women, cut themselves off from men entirely both socially and sexually.

 Historical Observations on Feminism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Furthermore, although the liberal will usually detest international war, he or she is often the first to call upon liberal democracies to intervene militarily to protect the ethnic rights of an oppressed minority (a major paradox in the liberal attitude to war in the last century).
And socialist feminists, as one might expect, often see liberal feminists as more interested in protecting their property than in advancing the full emancipation of women from oppression, a liberation that can only effectively be dealt with (in their view) through a revolution in the economic order.
Hence, the central issue for radical feminism is that women's femaleness, their identity as women, is in the hands of men and is manipulated by men for their own purposes--economic, psychological, and sexual.

Liberal feminists charge that the main cause of female subordination is a set of informal rules and formal laws that block women's entrance and/or success in the public world.

 Mary-Kate G. Smith: Is Western Liberal Feminism Bad for Women? / Labyrinth vol. 3, Winter 2001
Liberalism is a tradition that has been born out of many ideas of several thinkers and of several social situations, but is most often characterized as part of the “western” tradition.
