male attempts to justify the economic exploitation

of Women.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Feminist theory includes many ideas, and may be frustrating for someone seeking a one-sentence answer to the question ‘what makes a view feminist?’ However, this characteristic of feminism is not new or particular to contemporary, third-wave, global feminism or ecofeminism. In 1913, a woman wrote: ‘I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is…I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute’ (Gibbs 1992). In essence, feminist theory is a set of ideas originating with the belief that women are not subordinate to men or only valuable in relationship to men (servant, caretaker, mother, or prostitute), and that the disciplines, systems, and structures in place in our world today may be changed for the better if infused with a feminist point of view. But it is more than this. Feminist theory sets an agenda for action, the aim of which is justice and equality for women everywhere and, of course, also for the men and children to whom they are inextricably linked.
