Answer:
From the perspective of liberal feminism, women's legal rights to property, including property in their own person, is the first step in the emancipation of women. Liberal feminism broadly accepts the proposition that contemporary advanced industrial societies are meritocratic, and that women as a group are not innately less talented or less diligent than men but are denied opportunities simply because of their sex. It shares with neoclassical economics the belief that discrimination distorts the market mechanism and produces undesirable outcomes, while disagreeing with the neoclassical economists' presumption that discrimination is an infrequent occurrence. Liberal feminism views wage discrimination and sex segregation of occupations in the labor market as a mechanism designed to exclude women from the labor market. Liberal feminist doctrine lies behind much of the legislation on antidiscrimination and equal opportunity. Discrimination against women, claims liberal feminism, often arises from stereotyped expectations.
