Which view focuses on society as fundamentally a “patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women” ?
Answer: D
This is the view of radical feminism.
Radical feminists, such as Kate Millett and Shulamith Firestone, see patriarchy, the systematic domination of women by men, as the most fundamental form of oppression, running through the family, sexuality and culture as well as the economy and the state. Hence the slogan 'the personal is political'.
Liberal feminism looks to legal reform and equal opportunity within existing institutions. Feminist existentialism (Simone de Beauvoir) asks how woman is made the 'Other', and post-structural feminism studies how gender is constructed in discourse, without treating society as simply a patriarchy.
