how equality feminists rejected difference feminism Flashcards
majority of feminists are equality feminists are reject difference feminism agruing that
it reinforces gender stereotypes and that gender roles are socially constructed rather than biologically determined
equality feminists argue that emphasising essential differences between genders undermines the feminist goal of achieving equality by
suggesting that women are naturally suited to certain roles and men to others , which can entrench existing power dynamics and female subordination

gender roles are not learned and can be changed thus promoting a vision of equality where individuals are not limited by traditional gender norms and can pursue opportunities based on their talents and interests rather than sex
