It feminism movement is divided in 3 groups:
1.Radicals
Their main problem was that everything is dominated by men,because they had all the power. They aim was it to "delete" all the men! They wanted a world without men. No men who are dominating them, no men in the government no men to help them to get their rights and equal treatment.
These radical women arranged quiet radical demonstrations like chaining themselves to railings or writing threats into meadows.
The second group of the feminists are:
The socialists
They wanted democracy: Everyone shoub be treated equal, men and women. They wanted to abolish the classes and through that they wanted to avoid men dominating women. But there was no way for an solution as long as the power and the wealth are monopolized by the minority.
If we compare these movements to current parties these women would join the "Linke". They joined anti-imperalistic movements and left-wing parties.
They were not averse to get help from men. As already mentioned these women wanted equality for everyone!
Similar to this socialistic group are:
The Liberals
This group is emerged from social protests and Anti-Vietnam War movements
Their main problem was that people had to many prejudices. Prejudices against women and also men. They wanted to change the sytem, not to overturn it! They called for a equal-system where everyone had the same rights, men and women!
For example they wanted laws so women can open a bank account. They wanted female role-models: a good example is Mother Teresa.
-Synthesis of the strength and weaknesses in all three tendencies
-New: relationship beteen biological sex and social conditions
-Favour of theory: male-female differences are innate
-Sceptical "gender is socially constructed and shift of focus: from "sex" to "gender"
-consideration of both: masculinity and feminity
-gender acquistion: precarious never finish process
So the new GENDER means that men can be sensetive, they are allowed to talk about their feelings without being "gay". Also women can be gender male when they drink beer or like quick cars.
Gender is viewed as a social construction rather than a biological condition.
Gender identity is an individual´s self-conception as being male or female, and is not necessarily identical with actual biological sex. People whose gender identity feels incongruent with their physical bodies may identify themselves as intersex, transgender or genderqueer. Androgyny means displaying both male and female behaviour.
Gender is influenced by our environment as well: Imagine a boy will grow up with gay parentes he would have a complitely different view of relationships than a boy who grows up and is educated in an abbey by friars.
