Feminism and the family
Marxist feminists and the Family Benston (1972)
- Women are the takers of shit
- Women perform unpaid labour e.g. in the home
- Reserve army of labours
Criticisms of Marxist – Feminist views
- Ignores issues e.g., impact of racism on the family
- Ignores progress acknowledged by liberal feminists
- Morgan (1975) focuses on the nuclear family
Radical feminism and the family
- Tong (2016) women’s oppression as women is more fundamental
than other forms of human oppression
- Women are dominated and oppressed in all areas of life including the
family
- Use of domestic abuse statistics to support this view (1 in 4 females
are victims of domestic abuse)
Greer (2000)
Inequalities in marriage
- Women must be seen to adore the husband, eyes fixed on him
constantly, but he must try to not look at her – relationship should
be clearly seen to be unequal
Inequalities at home
- Husbands come and go as they please, spends more money on himself,
female does all the housework, female must please the man
Motherhood
- Motherly is a word used for people who are frumpish and
suffocation, people who wear cotton hose and shoes with a small
heel. Motherhood is not a career option – women should be able to
have kids and get a job.
Daughters
- Daughters are quite like to experience abuse – this is an extension of
heterosexual male sexuality (fancying young things, “babe”)
