Some call it radical feminism. Other terms include lesbian separatism, political lesbianism, or sex-critical feminism.

No matter the name, radical feminism is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts.

Simply put, radical feminism seeks to abolish the patriarchy. Their goal is to liberate everyone from an unjust society by challenging existing social norms and institutions.

Members of radical feminism view society as fundamentally a patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women. Some of the famous members of the movement include Andrea Dworkin, Valerie Solanas, and Alice Walker.

On the other hand, liberal feminism believe that female subordination is rooted in a set of customary and legal constraints that block women’s entrance to and success in the so-called public world. Liberal feminism strives for sexual equality via political and legal reform.
