“Feminist Politics” Feminism: movement to end sexist oppression All sexist thinking is the problem; men aren’t the problem Women are part of the problem Shift from anti-male to all out gender equity Women cannot unite if they are in competition, dominating and exploiting one another
“Feminist Politics” Reformist feminists: wanted what men had (white women) Revolutionary feminists: wanted an entirely new system (women of color, lesbians) Patriarchy supported reformists because their power wasn’t threatened by them Lifestyle feminism: different versions of feminism – no longer political; therefore, no longer powerful
Questions How do women dominate and exploit one another? Is it possible for women to unite with a common cause? Why or why not? Do you believe lifestyle feminism lacks significant societal impact?
