Radical Feminism: family and patriarchy = obstacle to inequality
- Beliefs: men exercise power and control over women through physical and sexual violence - women are oppressed
- Lesbians: reject men. New technology means no men are needed (aritifical insemination)
- Criticisms:
- No evidence to suggest matriarchy is better
- Not all relationships include oppression
Firestone: men are dominant in the family, but women have the equipment to be mothers - men do not.
Greer: mothers are oppressed, not equal to men (men have control). SEGREGATION WANTED
Millet: men have ownership of women and children (through abuse) BUT IT IS CHANGING
