Feminism: What does it mean?



            We discussed a lot in this course about how complex feminism is. As well, we discussed different types of it. Feminism, as we defined in class, is the wide array of political and social attitudes and practices that works against:

-sexism

-heterosexism

-patriarchy

-inequality

The different types of feminism include liberal, radical, Marxist, and socialist. Each type has a main focus on a different aspect of feminism, as well as works to a certain degree. In the article, “The Feminist Menu” by Chris Beasley, each type is explained in depth to help you better understand what feminism is and my look like. To learn more, you can find the article in the book “What is Feminism?: An Introduction to Feminist Theory” by Chris Beasely.
