Feminism is the theory in which concolidate the concept of female oppression. There are 4 types of feminism: Radical feminism, marxist feminism, dual systems theory feminism and post-modern feminism.
Radical Feminism
Radical feminism is a branch of feminism that views women's oppression as a fundamental element in human society and seeks to challenge that standard by broadly rejecting standard gender roles, The traditional radical feminist standpoint may be expressed as viewing the divison in all societies as that between men and women and staing "that men are oppressors of women". These concepts were first developed in the late sixties as a significan part of second-wave feminism
Marxist feminism
- Marxist feminism is a sub-type of feminist theory which focuses on the dismantling of captialism as a way to liberate women and states that capticalism, which gives rise to economic inequality, dependence, political confusion and ultimately unhealthy social relations between men and women, is the root of women's oppression.
Dual Systems thoery
- Some theoriest place greater emphasis on capitalism, while other place greater emphasis on patriarchy. It is not surprising one can develop wuite different theories of society depending on the emphasis place on capitalism and patriarchy, and hence on class and gender/sex respectively.
Post - Post-Modern Feminism
- They criticize the structure of society and dominant order, especially in its patriarchal aspects. Many postmodern feminists, however, reject the feminist label, because anything that ends up with an "ism" reflects an essentialist concept. Postmodern feminism is the ultimate acceptor of diversity. Multiple truths, multiple roles. multiple realities are part of its focus. There is a rejection towards the essential nature of women, of one-way to be a woman.
