Individualist Feminism Versus Collectivist Feminism

Wendy McElroy:

Individualist feminists approached equality in a more strictly legal manner, appealing to natural-law theory. They wished the individual rights of women to be fully acknowledged under laws that protected the person and private property of men and women identically."

"Gender feminism is based on different theory: [Catharine] MacKinnon has referred to the ideology as post-Marxist,' meaning that it adopts many aspects of Marxism but rejects its insistence that economic status, rather than gender, is the salient political factor determining a class."
