Equity feminism is a form of liberal feminism that advocates the state's equal treatment of women and men without challenging inequalities perpetuated by employers, educational and religious institutions, and other elements of society.[1][2] The concept has been discussed since the 1980s.[2][3] Equity feminism has been defined and classified as a kind of classically liberal or libertarian feminism,[1] in contrast with social feminism,[4][5] difference feminism,[6] gender feminism,[7] and equality feminism.[3]
Quote: Equity-feminism differs from equality-feminism in the depth and scope of its strategic goals. A feminist revolution would pursue three goals, according to Herrad Schenk:
English translation: ...the abolition of the gender-specific division of work in the family, the dissolution of the psychic foundations of different gender roles, and the feminization of the societal system of norms and values.
Equity feminism, whether liberal, Marxist or socialist, relies on male classifications…Social feminism, whether maternal, cultural or radical, appeals to female values
we found two strands, both of which we wanted to include as political: an equity feminism seeking equal rights…and women's collective action that looked more like a social feminism
There are two dominant strains within the equality debate: "equity feminism" and "difference feminism".
