Radical feminism, humanism and women's studies

It is contended that contemporary radical feminism involves sexism, espouses the superiority of women over men, & has as its goal the establishment of a separate world without men, a gynocracy. Here, radical feminism is contrasted with humanism & seen to be antihumanistic. Feminists themselves claim that women's studies programs in universities & colleges basically teach radical feminism. Thus, ironically, studies that are supported for the purpose of ending sexism are, in fact, creating it. A solution is recommended: establish women's studies on the philosophies of those who are moving toward humanistic feminism. 47 References. Adapted from the source document.
