I've just published an essay on feminism’s relationship to Liberalism (in the political science meaning). I argue that contemporary feminism is fundamentally in conflict with Liberalism – especially on three core principles:

  • Liberalism requires equality for all individuals whereas feminism is group-based - contributing to division between the sexes.
  • Liberalism supports tolerance and free speech while feminism tends to moral absolutism and censorship.
  • Liberalism demands the rule of law including equality before the law while many feminists reject those principles.

I conclude that feminism is in conflict with the West’s moral-intellectual tradition.

Interested in your thoughts…
