Some clarifications about radical feminism as currently there seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around.

Radical feminism is not an "ideology" it& #39;s an analysis and critique of patriarchy. Much like Marxism is an analysis and critique of capitalism.

The analysis of radical feminism is that the root of female oppression is the control/exploitation of female bodies as well as our relegation to lesser gender status.This is simply a lens through which to analyze culture. It& #39;s a structural critique of patriarchal social systems.

I clarify here for many who seem to be confused about this, including those who act as if radical feminism is a belief system, ideology, or social justice cause. It is not those things.

Again, it is not an ideology, philosophy, it does not prescribe a belief system, rather it is a structural critique of the existing power dynamics that keep women/girls relegated to a certain status and how that impacts our bodies.
