The main focus of the second wave of feminism, which occurred in between the 1960s and the 1980s, was that the relationship between men and women had always been unequal and oppressive and from it spawned three different types of feminism to combat the problem. Liberal feminism’s goal is to reform society gain equality while Socialist feminism calls for men and women to work together to change society. The last mode, Radical feminism appears to be the most extreme. Followers of this group believe that men are impossible to change and that the only way feminist goals can be achieved is if they separate the two sexes completely. In my opinion, this form of feminism is ineffective and counterproductive to the goals of feminism. In order to gain equality, women do have to fight for it, but violence and complete segregation will not solve the problem only intensify it. Fixating on men behaving badly instead of on other important issues like workplace changes is a distraction to the feminist movement and is more detrimental to their cause than beneficial. Furthermore, it sours the relationship between the two genders even more and makes equality harder to attain. Personally I believe that out of the three modes of feminism, Socialist feminism is the best way to reach the goals of the movement. The only realistic way is for both sides to come together to address the issue and thats what Socialist feminism encourages. By seeing men as allies rather than enemies, we all can come together to find the best solution.
