Radical Feminism as a Discourse in the Theory of Conflict
Radical Feminism as a Discourse in the Theory of Conflict

Summary/Abstract: Radical feminism represents one of the types of the feminist theory, founded on the attitude that the society is based on the patriarchal grounds, because of which women are marginalized and discriminated against. This theory can be defined as a conflict theory because it is based on the assumption that a society consists of opposed fractions (sexes) whose relations are based on the domination of men over women, as well as the one that a society and different relations within it can be best described by observing these relations and the attitudes of sexes toward them. Since the radical feminist movement had been founded on the principles of Marxism, which, as well, represents the most important conflict theory, the comparative analysis of Marxism and this type of feminism is the key component of this research, in order to see similarities and differences between the two theories, and, based on those, define some of the main characteristics of the radical feminism as a conflict theory.
