Liberal Feminism- is simply women and men being treated as equals. Some of
the main issues of liberal feminism include reproductive and abortions rights,
sexual harassment, voting rights, education, affordable childcare and affordable
health care. Women should have the same legal rights, job opportunities and
education as men. Liberal feminists try to promote a nonsexist socialization to
children.
Marxist Feminism- they believe that women play an incredibly important role as
they are one of the most affected victims of the capitalist system. For instance,
single mothers are often left to fend for themselves when there are no welfare
benefits available. Through revolution, working-class women will then be able to
free themselves from the socio-economic hardships imposed upon them by the
capitalist system and work towards, with their male comrades, a fairer system
where men and women are equal in an egalitarian and communist society.
Cultural Feminism- refers to a philosophy that men and women have different
approaches to the world around them, and that greater value should be placed on
the way women approach the world. In some cases, cultural feminism argues that
a woman's way of looking at the world is actually superior to men's. This
perspective aims to unite all women, regardless of ethnicity, race, class or age.
The essence of being a woman is what makes women special and different
compared to men, according to this view. This female essence includes a greater
emphasis on cooperation, relationships and peace, also referred to as an ethic of
care. Cultural feminists can either believe that being more nurturing is
biologically determined, or they might believe that this trait was taught to them by
society, or some combination of both.
