The Three Main Types of Feminism

Feminism is a highly complex ideology that has various factions and sub-types. It is so much more than simply ‘gender equality’ (and in my opinion, is not synonymous with gender equality). In this video I outline the three main types of feminism: radical Feminism, liberal feminism, and intersectional Feminism.

➤ One of my favourite authors, Louise O’Neill, blatantly said that the hardest place to maintain her feminism is in a relationship with a straight man. This doesn’t surprise me. Feminism is an ideology rooted in the distrust and condescension towards men: https://irishtatler.com/feminist-love
