radical vs lib

• Liberal feminists see patriarchy in terms of

  The historical dominance of men in society
• Radical feminists say that

  The liberals fail to understand patriarchy's true nature, and that it actually lies so deep in human consciousness that legal, political and cultural reform as suggested by liberals will not make enough of a difference, so revolutionary change is needed
• Liberals say that

  Radicals are seeking to restrict freedom of choice, and that as long as legal and political equality is in place, women should be free to pursue their own aspirations
• Liberals say that

  There is a private sphere in which women should be free to choose their own status
• Radicals say that

  The personal is political, and that as all relationships between men and women are impacted by the patriarchy, these relationships are all inherently political
