Who is a feminist? a person who believes in the theory of feminism.

Different Theories:

1. Amazon Feminism - is dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction
and fact , as it is expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats female
athletes, and in sexual values and practices. This theory of feminism focuses on physical
equality and is opposed to gender role and discrimination against women based on
assumptions that women supposed to be, look or behave as if they are passive, weak and
helpless. Amazon feminism rejects the idea that certain or interests are inherently
masculine (or feminine), upholds and explores a vision of heroic womanhood..

2. Cultural Feminism - a theory that there are fundamental personality differences
between men and women, and that women's differences are special and should be. This theory
of feminism supports the notion that there are differences between men and women,
for example, "women are and more gentle then men", leading to the mentality that if
ruled the world there would be no wars. Cultural feminism is the theory wants to
overcome sexism by celebrating women's special qualities, women's way, and women's
experiences. Often believing that the "woman's way" is the better way..

3. Ecofeminism -  a theory that rests on the basic principal that patriarchial are
harmful to women, children, and other living things. Often drawn between society's
treatment of the environment, or resources and its treatment of women. In resisting
culture, eco-feminists believe they are also resisting plundering destroying the Earth.
They feel that the patriarchal philosophy the need to dominate and control unruly
females and the unruly  (nature and the earth). Ecofeminism states patriarchal society
is relatively new, something developed over the last, 2000 years or so and that the
matriarchal society was the first society. This matriarchal society, women were the
center of society and people Goddesses. This is known as the "Feminist Eden", time in
history where women were the center of society. Eisler's book, The Chalice and the
Blade, is often considered the "bible" of ecofeminism. Other books reflecting the
theories of ecofeminism are: God was a Woman, by Marija Gimbuta and The Creation of
Patriarchy Gerda Lerner..
 

4. Femme Feminism - a term for the type of feminism the National Organization of
Women represents. This theory is based on the notion that in order for men and women to
be equal, women should be granted special privileges and should not participate in
feminism..

5. Feminazi- the term was "invented" by the radio/tv host Rush Limbaugh. Defines a
feminazi as a feminist who is trying to produce as many abortions possible. Hence the
term "nazi" - he sees them as to rid the world of a particular group of people (fetuses)..

6. Individualist, or Libertarian Feminism - this theory of feminism is based upon
individualist or libertarian (minimum government or anarcho-capitalist) philosophies.
The primary focus is autonomy, rights, liberty, independence and diversity..

7. Moderate Feminism- a branch of feminism tends to be populated mostly by younger women.
Women who have not directly experienced discrimination. They tend to question the
need for further effort, and do not think that feminism is any longer viable and in
fact rather embarrassing (it's thought that this is the group most likely to espouse
feminist and thoughts while denying being "feminist"). .

8. Radical Feminism - this theory of feminism is the breeding ground for many of the
ideas arising from a system . Radical as universally accepted as it was then and no
longer serves solely define the term, "feminism". This group views the oppression of
as the most fundamental form of oppression, one that cuts across of race, culture, and
economic classes. This is a movement on social change, change of rather revolutionary
proportions. In fact, Radical feminism questions why women must adopt certain roles
based on their biology, just as it questions why men adopt certain other roles on theirs. Radical
feminism attempts to draw lines between determined behavior and
culturally-determined behavior in order to free both men and women as much as possible
from their previous gender roles..

9. Separatists - are often wrongly depicted as lesbians, are the feminists who advocate
separation from men; sometimes total or partial. Women who organize women-only events.
The core idea is that "separating" (by various means) from men enables to see themselves
in a different context. Many feminists, whether or not separatist, think this is a
necessary "first step", by which mean a temporary separation for personal growth ,
not a permanent. It is equally inaccurate to consider all lesbians as separatist. It is
true that they do not interact with men for sexual fulfillment, is not true that they
therefore automatically cut all interaction with men.
