Summary/Abstract: In feminist theories and postmodern theories on human sexuality, we can observe the phenomenon of abandoning strict division of sex. The question therefore arises: is feminism, and thus feminist theology, which establishes this division, still has reason for being? What is the relation between feminism and postmodernism – seen as one rejecting any essentialist thinking? Are they mutually exclusive? In order to explore these issues, the article presents, at first, views of the authors who are known as representatives of postmodern feminism. Subsequently the article delineates views on sexuality presented by queer theory, which seem to achieve thoroughly the postmodern demands. At the end, authors make an attempt to answer, how feminism and feminist theology could be inspired by postmodern thought without losing their identity.
