    FEMINIST THEORY

    PREPARED BY:
    JARRED DALE C. BRIOSO & ELLA N. LLANERA
    FEMINIST
    FROM THE GREEK WORD ΦεμꞱvɭoήҫ
    means feministίs.

    - relating to or in accordance with feminism.


    - A member of a feminist political movement.
     Feminist is broad. There is one feminist theory per se. Rather, there have been evolutions
    of the different frameworks under the broad heading of “feminist theory” since the late
    1700s.
     A Feminist is someone who supports equal rights for women.

     Feminism is the doctrine advocating social, political, and economic rights for women
    equal to those of men.

     It is alternative theory, which attempts to look at women’s oppressed positions in today’s


    society.

     There were two waves of feminism. The first wave came about regarding the issue of
    suffrage, or the campaign for women’s right to vote. The second wave of feminism
    occurred during the Civil Rights Movement, which focused on women’s liberation .
    The concepts of feminism include:
    • Gender: culturally determined cognitions,
    attitudes, and belief systems about
    females and males .

    variable that is used to distinguish females
    and males.

    • Sex Roles: patterns of culturally approve


    behaviors that are regarded as more
    desirable for either females and males.
    Many social workers are dissatisfied with the
    traditional treatment of women. Various reasons for
    their concern include the facts that:

    • Male type traits are depicted as norms.

    • Female type traits are depicted as deficient in comparison.

    • Women tend to be omitted in psychology knowledge base.

    • There’s sex stereotyping and sex bias in diagnosis.


    • There’s disregard of social work relating to validity of
    women’s self-reported experiences.

    • Blame is attributed to women for sexual/physical


    violence.

    • Mother/women blaming theories [Feud] are still used as


    foundations.

    • There’s increasing medicalization of women’s.

    • Pathology reflects inequalities of social status and


    interpersonal power between men and women.
