No, I was not aware that there were so many different kinds of feminism. I find the Liberal Feminist Theory most persuasive because it’s concentrating on women having the ability to maintain their equality through being responsible for their own actions and choices. I think that everyone is responsible for their own actions; you can’t blame someone else for something you did.
Some of the main issues of liberal feminism were sexual harassment, voting rights, education, affordable childcare and affordable health care. All of these I agree with..no one should ever have to deal with any form of harassment- verbal, physical, or sexual. Without voting women would have no say in anything, men would rule the world. We wouldn’t know anything if it weren’t for teachers and our education. All of these are necessities, without them we would be lost.
Ending with a quote I came across stating that liberal feminist believe “All women are capable of asserting their ability to achieve equality; therefore it is possible for change to happen without altering the structure of society.”
I agree. Without the right for women to vote who knows where we would be today. We should be respected like any other person and should never have to deal with harassment of any kind because we are a female and by the way we look. We may not be strong in some things that men are, but we are strong in many other ways.
