FEMINSTS
LIBERAL
LAWS AND POLICIES: BELIEVE WOMEN CAN ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY IN THIS WAY 1) EQUAL PAY ACT = ILLEGAL TO UNDERPAY WOMEN FOR EQUAL WORK DONE BY MEN 2) SEX DISCRIMINATION = OUTLAWS DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
CULTURAL CHANGE: TRADITIONAL PREJUDICES AND STEREOTYPES ABOUT GENDER DIFFERENCES ARE A BARRIER TO EQUALITY
CONCERNED WITH HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS AND THE FREEDOMS OF INDIVIDUALS - BELIEVE THAT ALL HUMANS SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS
-
S = STUDIES CONDUCTED HAVE PRODUCED EVIDENCE DOCUMENTING THE EXTENT OF GENDER INEQUALITY AND DISCRIMINATION // W;ORK HAS ALSO HELPED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT GENDER DIFFERENCES ARE THE RESULT OF TREATMENT AND SOCIALISATION PATTERNS
RADICAL
1) SEPARTISM 2) CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING 3) POLITICAL LESBAINAIS,
PATRIACHY IS UNIVERSAL // PATRIACHY ISMOST PRIMARY & FUNDAMENTAL FORM OF INEQUALITY & CONFLICT // AND ALL MEN OPPRESSION WOMEN
C = INADQUATE THEORY OF HOW PATRIACHY WILL BE ABOLISHED: 1) VAGUE UTOPIAN NOTIONS OF SEPARATISM ARE UNLIKELY TO BE ACHIEVED 2) SOMERVILLE ARGUES HETEROSEXUAL ATTRACTION MAKES IT UNLIKELY THAT THE PATRIARCHAL NUCLEAR FAMILY WILL BE REPLACED
S = GREER ARGUES FOR THE CREATION OF ALL-FEMALE / 'MATRILOCAL' HOUSEHOLDS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE HETEROSEXUAL FAMILY
AS PATRIARCHY AND OPPRESSION ARE REPRODUCED THROUGH PERSONAL AND SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS. RADICAL FEMINISTS HAVE PROPOSED A NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS
MARXISTS
PERFORMS A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT ROLES
- WOMEN ARE A SOURCE OF CHEAP, EXPLOITABLE LABOUR
- WOMEN ARE A RESERVE ARMY OF LABOUR
- WOMEN REPRODUCE THE LABOUR FORCE
- WOMEN ABSORB ANGER
-
SEE WOMEN'S SUBORDINATION ROOTED IN CAPITALISM, WHICH RESULTS FROM THEIR PRIMARY ROLE AS HOMEMAKER WHICH PLACES THEM I A DEPENDENT ECONOMIC POSITION
-
C = FAILS TO EXPLAIN WOMEN'S SUBORINDATION IN NON-CAPITALISM SOCIETIES. AS ITS FOUND IN NON-CAPITALIST SOCIETIES, IT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED SOLEYL IN TERMS OF THE NEED OF CAPITALISM
DUAL SYSTEM FEMINSTS
THEREFORE TO UNDERSTAND WOMEN'S SUBORDINATION WE MUT LOOK AT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEIR POSITION IN THE DOMESTIC DIVISION OF LABOUR AND IN PAID WORK
C = POLLERT ARGUES THAT PATRIARCHY IS NOT ACTUALLY A SYSTEM IN THE SAME SENSE AS CAPITALISM. PATRIARCHY IS MERELY A DESCRIPTIVE TERM FOR A RANGE OF PRACTICES
-
HARTMANN SEE CAPITALSIM AND PATRIARCHY AS TWO INTERTWINED SYSTEMS THAT FORM A SINGLE ENTITY 'PATRIARCHAL CAPITALISM' - ACCEPT PATRIACHY IS UNIVERSAL BUT ARGUE THAT IT TAKES A SPECIFIC FORM IN CAPITALIST SOCIETIES
EG: DOMESTIC WORK LIMITS WOMEN'S AVAILABILITY FOR PAID WORK - BUT THE LACK OF WORK OPPORTUNTIES DRIVES MANY WOMEN INTO MARRIAGE AND ECONOMIC DEPDENCE
