Major subtypes of feminism
  • Amazon feminism s dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as it is expressed in art and literature in the physiques and feats of female athletes, martial artists, and other powerfully built women, and in gender-related and sexual orientations.
  • Cultural feminism is the ideology of a female nature or female essence reappropriated by feminists themselves in an effort to revalidate undervalued female attributes. It’s the theory that there are fundamental personality and psychological differences between men and women, and that women's differences are not only unique, but superior. This theory of feminism takes note of the biological differences between men and women - such as menstruation and childbirth - and extrapolates from this the idea of an inherent "women's culture."
  • Ecofeminism  is a social and political movement which unites environmentalism and feminism, with some currents linking deep ecology and feminism. Ecofeminists argue that a relationship exists between the oppression of women and the degradation of nature, and explore the intersectionality between sexism, the domination of nature, racism, speciesism, and other characteristics of social inequality.
  • Individualist feminism is a blanket term for different forms of individualist feminist ideas. This take on feminism was originally expressed in anti-capitalist publications such as Liberty, and by individualists highly critical of capitalism such as Voltairine de Cleyre and Ezra Heywood.
  • Material feminism was a movement in the late 19th century to liberate women by improving their material condition. This movement revolved around taking the "burden" off women in regard to housework, cooking, and other traditional female domestic jobs.
  • Gender feminism a kind of feminism that criticises contemporary gender roles and wishes to abolish them completely. In more modern and frequent use it is used to describe feminism that seeks to use legal means to give preference to women in such areas as spousal abuse, child custody, sexual harassment, divorce proceedings, and pay equity. Supporter justfiy such activity on the ground of creating a real equality among the sexes while critics argue that they merely support reverse discrimination and encourage political, legal, social and economic rent seeking activities based on gender.
  • French feminism refers to the work of a group of feminists in France from the 1970s to the early 1990s. French feminism, compared to Anglophone feminism, is distinguished by an approach which is at once more philosophical and more literary. Its texts are effusive, metaphorical, and conceptually rich, rather than pragmatic; they are not as concerned with pragmatism, immediate political doctrine, or a "materialism" which is not of the body.
  • Liberal feminism is a form of feminism that argues that equality for women can be achieved through legal means and social reform, and that men as a group need not be challenged. Liberal feminism is a somewhat conservative or libertarian form of feminism by today’s standards, although it is rooted classically in liberalism. Liberal feminism leans towards an equality of sameness with men.
  • Sex-positive feminism, sometimes known as pro-sex feminism, sex-radical feminism, or sexually liberal feminism, is a movement that was formed in the early 1980s. Sex-positive feminism centers on the idea that sexual freedom is an essential component of women's freedom. As such, sex-positive feminists oppose legal or social efforts to control sexual activities between consenting adults, whether these efforts are initiated by the government, other feminists, opponents of feminism, or any other institution. They embrace sexual minority groups, endorsing the value of coalition-building with members of groups targeted by sex-negativity. Sex-positive feminism is connected with the sex-positive movement.
