The Impact Of Radical- Feminism At Work Place

Radical Feminism at Workplace

Radicalism is how we refer to the ideas held by people who want to change society by changing how people think about things. Radical feminism can be defined as “a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts. Radical feminists seek to abolish patriarchy by challenging existing social norms and institutions, rather than through a purely political process.” Radical feminists vary in what they choose to focus on. Some focus on freedom from patriarchy while some focus on absolute promotion of women as a sex and some fall somewhere in the spectrum.

Such a notion is opposed to the people who want to change society through legislation or force. In other words, “radicals” are the people that the small-government types should love, and they betray their misogyny by smearing radicals as somehow problematic. Most legislature bodies and authorities even at workplace really prefer their employees as progressives who just hope that things work out, so that nothing changes. This is synonyms to the historical incidents of how conservatives wanted black people to protest quietly and the people of color remained devoid of their rights as long as they did it.

In the case of radical feminism, the goal of most autocratic forms of organizations and related upper management is to convince people that patriarchy, treating women as if they’re trophies for men to win, children for men to protect, or servants to manage men’s lives. They have strict gender roles that handcuff too many men and women which is broadly harmful. While that should be largely uncontroversial in this day and age, for that idea, the establishment leaders (in no small way beholden to our patriarchal backgrounds hindering women from competing on their turf) strive the corporations to perceive that radical feminists hate men and might be harmful to the goal of equality.

Radical feminism at workplace features an entire elimination of patriarchy at workplace and reformulation of hierarchal structures. Patriarchy can be explained as an unbalanced system of oppression, control and destruction. If indeed radical feminism is incorporated at workplaces, men get angry because they feel they are being accused of having power they don't have and they feel blamed for all of the problems of the world. Some women at work also side against feminism and say that men need rights too. However, the notion put forth my radical feminists deepens the divide. At this point men who were angry are now considered victims or villains depending on which side of the fence they stand. If they claim to be victims of evil women and domineering men they will become more 'effeminent' and actively estrange themselves from traditional displays of masculinity, mostly protecting and providing for women and children. Hence, incorporation of radical feminism at workplaces encourages women to be equal players in the establishment. The theory also defends women’s’ rights to have abortions, work, be in the military, get formal education, be sexually autonomous and independent from the protection and providing of a male partner or husband.

Patriarchy is, at its core, an organism of control, dominance and destruction. Throughout the ages the forms of control have varied between State and Church. Both church and state use objective morals or indisputable laws to govern or control its citizens. The morals may change but the context does not. Hence, radical feminists at work concern around the way the Patriarchy treats women's bodies. They are working world wide to eliminate societal misfortunes for women like “Female Genital Mutilation, Prostitution, Harmful Pornography, Rape and Child Brides”. They have pushed for Abortion rights and proper medical care for women at work places. Radical Feminists are also against Gender stereotypes, and embrace diversity in sexuality such as homosexuality. All of these issues are still very much relevant and in need of improving in a great many cultures worldwide.
