Document Summary
When defining feminism there are words that define it in a socially transformative way. Feminism can also be seen as a threat with the use of certain words such as radical or extremist . It makes people fearful as identifying as feminists. Pat robertson, feminists are socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-family women who kill their children, leave their husbands and become lesbians. Attacking gender roles and the left wing. Many feminist would identify as socialist because it allows women to have more rights. Feminism is about equality among the sexes to be treated equally. Why would women reject feminism if it"s about improving their lives: some women say they don"t want to be feminists because they don"t want to desert their families. One of the most fundamentalist feminine critiques is that heterosexual nuclear families are not the only types of families. Families are not always linked or connected to biological connections: another woman said she didn"t hate men.
