Challenges the view of women as victims of gender relationships.
Catherine Hakim
Women often choose part-time work to fit in with their home lives. Feminism overstates the case that inequality is a result of women's economic choices, they have the opportunity to be equal but choose not to.
Bourdieu (1982) - Symbolic Power
Assumes superiority exists and that males define themselves as 'male' and reject female characteristics to display this symbolic power.
Symbolic Violence
Males physically impose violence on women.
Evaluation of Post-modern feminism:
Women are not one social group - ignores black feminism
Mostly qualitative - unreliable
Hard to measure forms of power
Sex positive feminism - women enjoy porn and sexualised behaviour as a way to express sexuality like men
