| | Radical feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This feminism was truly radical in both a political sense, and in the sense of seeking the root cause of the oppression of women. | | | Radical feminism is a branch of feminism that views women's oppression (or patriarchy) as the basic evil upon which human relationships in society are arranged. | | | While Radical feminism posits that the root cause of all other inequalities is the oppression of women, some Radical feminists acknowledge the simultaneity or intersectionality of different types of oppression which may include, but are not limited to the following: gender, race, class, perceived attractiveness, sexuality, ability, whilst still affirming the recognition of patriarchy. |

| | Forum: Feminists silent on Iraqi women - The Washington Times: Commentary - August 15, 2004 |
| | Radical feminists witnessed a legitimate case of tyranny and violence against women in Iraq, but they remained steadfastly against policies and actions of America and the Bush administration that helped these women. | | | These radical feminists' stance on military action in Iraq and the global war on terrorism illustrate how they have consistently fallen short of their purported mission to "eliminate sexism and eliminate all oppression." Their motives are clearly political and not based on advancing the rights of women around the world. | | | The deceptively titled March for Women's Lives in April brought thousands of feminists and leftist supporters to Washington, D.C. Rather than march against the atrocities and violence against women in Iraq and other countries, feminists waved coat hangers and demanded taxpayer-funded abortions. |

| | The Radical Goals of the Feminists -- December 1991 Phyllis Schlafly Report |
| | When feminists talk about "women's rights," they mean a radical restructuring of society, with government using its power to force feminist goals on all the rest of us. | | | A sustained fight to defeat the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court and any nominee who would sacrifice women's rights and civil rights. | | | The last time the feminists so openly showed their true face to the public was at the taxpayer-funded event in Houston in November 1977 called "International Women's Year." That conference was the occasion when the gender-neutral feminists coalesced with the abortionists and the lesbians to try to force the Equal Rights Amendment down our throats. |

| | Feminism? You want feminism? Which brand would you like? |
| | Radical feminists argue, for example, that the legal system should abandon its traditional "hands-off" attitude toward violence in the family and move more aggressively to protect women from the abusive power of men in the private sphere. | | | Radical feminism attempts to draw lines between biologically-determined behavior and culturally-determined behavior in order to free both men and women as much as possible from their previous narrow gender roles. | | | Feminists found 1.) all women are victims, 2.) the perfect shoulders, the shoulders of men, to put the blame on. |

| | During Presidential Reconstruction, white supremacist Congressmen passed a series of laws called the black codes, which denied blacks the right to make contracts, testify against whites, marry white women, be unemployed, and even loiter in public places. | | | Radicals took this measure in an attempt to protect Secretary of War Edwin M. | | | The Radical Republicans also passed the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, and the Fourteenth Amendment, which made freed slaves U.S. citizens. |

| | Feminist Jurisprudence [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | American feminist jurisprudence is the study of the construction and workings of the law from perspectives which foreground the implications of the law for women and womenÂs lives. | | | On all these levels, feminist scholars, lawyers, and activists raise questions about the meaning and the impact of law on womenÂs lives. | | | Feminist jurisprudence asks what is implied in traditional categories, distinctions, or concepts and rejects them if they imply the subordination of women. |

| | Those Martian Women! |
| | Radical feminists believe our culture sets men and women up as dominant and subordinate "sex classes", regardless of how they feel as individuals. | | | Tenacious, optimistic, and often politically savvy, liberal feminists have fought for virtually all of the women's rights laws that exist in this country. | | | Outraged by misogyny in the Black Liberation and civil rights movements, frustrated by racism within liberal and radical feminist groups, and irritated with social scientists' silly assertions that black families are "matriarchal", African-American activists had no choice in the 80's but to create a new feminism. |

| | Epstein - Grassroots Environmentalism and Strategies for Social Change |
| | Cultural radicalism was a dominant theme in many of the movements of the time, especially the women's movement and the gay and lesbian movements, among some sections of movements of people of color, especially around issues of identity and identity politics. | | | Most of the people involved in these groups were young people, influenced by the antiwar movement and by the counterculture, and one of their aims was to persuade others in the antiwar and other radical movements of the time that the environment was a legitimate political issue. | | | The terms "toxics" and "environmental justice" are both used to describe the movement. |

| | Introduction to Individualist Feminism. Part One |
| | The more radical feminists of the day protested that the existing laws and institutions -- in short, the political system itself -- caused the injustice toward women and, as such, it could not be reformed. | | | For example, the cry of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association -- which, after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, became the League of Women Voters -- was not one of revolution: they wanted to include women in the existing process through which the State was constituted. | | | As an organized force, American feminism is often dated -- and, I believe, correctly so -- from the radical anti-slavery movement, known as Abolitionism, that arose in the early 1830s and coalesced around the libertarian William Lloyd Garrison. |

| | Dialectical Feminism: The Unknown Ideal |
| | Robert Campbell is correct in noting a tendency for radical feminists to believe a) that there are pervasive non-governmental forces oppressing women, and b) that these forces must be fought by state violence. | | | Radical feminism views women's oppression as a fundamental element in human society and seeks to challenge that standard by broadly rejecting standard gender roles. | | | To attack radical feminist concerns merely because they are often advanced in an extremist fashion is to ignore (and incidentally alienate) all those radical feminists who advance the same concerns in a more reasonable fashion. |

| | Radical feminist theorists stated that modern society and its constructs (law, religion, politics, art, etc) are the product of males and therefore have a patriarchal character. | | | Under this analysis, the marriage contract was actually a first, albeit imperfect, step toward liberating women from the subservient position they had held since the age of violence. | | | Marxist feminism is a sub-type of feminist theory which focuses on the dismantling of capitalism as a way to liberate women. |
