Interesting piece from MMN about the different schools of feminism I didn't know there were so many!

Reading through I think I am 30% radfem, 10% eco feminist, 40% socialist feminist and 20% post modernist feminist.

Thoughts? What got missed?

I would LOVE to make this a Reddit Quiz. Why do I think they wouldn't like that?

I'm not sure I'm anyone of them or a feminist at all now.

Is there like a quiz to take?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I haven't heard much about Muslim Feminism @doobigetta if you have any recommendations for further reading I'd love to take a look.

re African feminism @Herfzi we covered black feminism (and mentioned African Feminism in passing.) We appreciate the two schools of thought are not the same and we would be up for learning more - any links much appreciated!

As was said in article this list is not complete and we are still learning our feminism - as I am sure many women are!

Ooh, really good article! I agree with Doo- that's very reminiscent of the libfem I grew up with. I generally feel I'm getting more radfem with age, but if we can go back to this definition of liberal, I'd be wavering Grin. I have elements of Marxist and Anarchic in there, but at a much lower level.

I would also like to see African feminism (or did I miss that in there? Entirely likely!) and other forms of none West-centric approach: I'm pretty certain there are likely plenty of feminist approaches out there I'm not at all familiar with.

Based on that I’m a mix of radical and liberal. It’s interesting though that the article uses the old definition of liberal feminism that I learned 20 years ago- not the 21st century sex positive version that us old crones get so annoyed by.
There’s no mention of muslim feminism. I think there should be, not least because it is so different from the other schools of thought that it does cover.
