Document Summary

Sex went from being pleasurable (both orgasms) to only done to procreate, women were seen to only be satisfied through being a mom. 3 stages: dislocates gender and society, homosexuality was seen to be directly related to gender and your development, reinforcing the idea that guys need to be the sexual aggressor and girls need to be sexually passive. Liberal feminism"s primary goal is gender equality in the public sphere -- equal access to education, equal pay, ending job sex segregation, better working conditions -- won primarily through legal changes. Private sphere issues are of concern mainly as they influence or impede equality in the public sphere. Gaining access to and being paid and promoted equally in traditionally male-dominated occupations is an important goal. Defined by feminists in the 1970s as a basic human right, it includes the right to abortion and birth control, but implies much more.
