Feminism

• Women are socialised to conform
• Women aren't in subcultures because they have soft characteristics
• Control Theory; Women are double appressed because they are controlled by men and society

• Warped masculinity
• Men are able to act out their frustration whereas women can't because they get negatively labelled within society

• Girls are confined to their bedrooms with their fantasies
• They are afraid of being negatively labelled by society so they just stay within their bedrooms

• New Wave girls (wore Doc. Martens, band t-shirts, big colourful hair etc.)
• Rejected traditional femininity
• Reject the influence of school and family

• Families tend to have a closer reign over girls than boys
• Girls aren't allowed out as much and have earlier curfews

• Women are defined through sexuality
• Girls in youth subcultures were seen as potential girlfriends

• Women are likely to be dominated by the family inside and outside of the home

Feminists challenged the idea that delinquent behaviour is stereotyped with male trates.
