MISOGYNY IN WESTERN PHILOSOPHY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF GLOBALIZATION OF FEMINISM
MISOGYNY IN WESTERN PHILOSOPHY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF GLOBALIZATION OF FEMINISM

Summary/Abstract: Feminism analyzes the various types of resistance the women's movement has encountered. These issues include sex-role stereotyping, women's self-image and public image, the social role of womanhood, and politics of patriarchal language. Feminist thought is centered around issues like women's role in reproduction and the role of socialization in a male-dominated social culture. In this work, we propose to highlight the endemic misogyny inherent among some western philosophers by noting how philosophy disregarded the inclusion of women in the category of rational subjects in which women were devalued by making them seem inferior and as well show the importance of globalization of feminism.
