Feminism

When looking at the different ways that feminism can be expressed I found very interesting ideas. While I had read the Marxist perspective because I have some background on these ideas, many of the other types of feminism that were later discussed in class either fit these ideas well or completely went against them. When looking at multi-cultural aspects it was apparent that the individual was very important and that self-expression was important, this was echoed in ecofeminism, which saw oppression of women as an oppression of all living things. Marx had a much more cynical perspective when look from his point of view, and these ideas are hard to recreate. An aspect of his model that seems to help feminism is the idea to always question the system so that one never gets stuck in their ideas. Getting more feedback to what everyone in the class agreed with would have been very interesting for this topic because of the diversity of the subjects.
