Liberal feminists

• Blame gender inequality on discrimination and
  stereotypes.
• J.S Mill and Harriet Taylor were influenced by
  the political liberalism ideas specifically
• Equal rights, individualism and liberty.
• They suggest once equal rights have been
  established accidents of birth like sex will
  become irrelevant in society.
• Liberal feminists believe in campaigning to
  change laws which promote equal opportunity. Such
  as modern anti-discrimination such as the Sex
  Discrimination Act (1975).
• They also believe in changing attitudes and
  overcoming prejudice about the roles of men and
  women.
• Liberal feminists say sexism harms everyone, men
  as well as women.

Radical Feminists

• They say there is conflict between all men and
  all women.
• The patriarchy theory is favoured and they say
  society runs the interests of male power.
• Men take most of societys rewards and privileges
  for themselves, men are the ruling class and
  women are oppressed.
• They argue that men use their control of culture
  to create the belief that gender inequality and
  patriarchy are natural.
• Radical feminists want to free women from what
  they see patriarchal control, some radical
  feminists put forward the idea of separlism.
• Sherry B Ortner says women give birth as theyre
  seen as closer to nature and further from culture
  than men. Therefore seen as inferior in society.

Marxists feminists

• They blame gender inequality on capitalism as
  well as patriarchy.
• They say that gender inequality can be understood
  in a social and economic context.
• This perspective, it suits capitalism that women
  are exploited by men on many levels.
• They say that capitalism exploites womens work
  in three ways
• - Employers treat women as reserve army of
  labour. Tend to be hired and fired when needed.
• - Male workers try to exclude females from their
  trades and crafts.
• - Husbands exploite their wives unpaid housework.
• See the bourgeoisie family as patriarchal and
  unequal in the capitalist society.
• Its set up as men in order to pass property from
  Fathers to Sons.
• Women are seen as working for the benefit of this
  system rather than for their own benefits.
• Without private property there would be no need
  to do this.
• They think that to end gender inequalities,
  capitalism needs to end through socialist
  revolution.
