Feminism


Book Description

Modeled on the principles of feudal society, the feminist enterprise of designing male and female social classes has been several centuries in the making. Well before Marx and Marxism the feminist tradition was orchestrating its own version of the long march through the institutions of society, agitating for social and legal changes that would ultimately free women of most responsibilities while leaving men's responsibilities unchanged or increased. Peter Wright explores the nature of political feminism and the rhetorical devices that have proven so decisive for the success of the movement. Among those tactics are appeals to women's biological vulnerabilities and the necessity of male chivalry to secure women's protections and rise in status.




Traditional to Modern Feminism A Shift of Power, Not Values


Book Description

I consider myself a traditional feminist. However, through the course of several decades, feminism has slowly radicalised itself. Feminism used to be about equality between the sexes and treating people with dignity. However, now, feminism is full of dangerous, iniquitous, and harmful ideologies which irreparably and seriously harm the people of our society, both men and women. Some of these ideologies include glorifying promiscuity, wrecking the nuclear family unit, false victimhood narratives, modern gender theory, the steady societal and institutional feminisation of men, and so much more. In this book, we are going to debunk these ideologies, and you are going to learn about how evolutionary biology, masculinity, femininity, moral values, and ethics made our civilisation great, and how modern, radical feminism seeks to undermine these values, ethics, traditions, and norms, posing a great detriment to our society and harming everyone in the process.

Gender and Feminist Theory in Law and Society


Book Description

This volume chronicles a quarter-century of feminist theorizations on equality and liberty. The essays demonstrate a continuing commitment to feminist method (a democratic notion that all people have a right to participate in the production of knowledge of the world, including legal knowledge) and manifest feminism's continuing critical tradition (namely, theorists' willingness to see multiple factors, including feminism itself, as obstructing enlightened constructions of the world). Taken together, the essays suggest that liberty to make the world is not just a means to an end - equality - but is a substantive end in itself.
