A movement that seeks to dismantle patriarchal systems which have historically oppressed women and gender diverse people. Patriarchy consists of male rule. Under patriarchy leaders are not held accountable and have unchecked privilege and power. Socio pathic traits are valued over genuine leadership skills such as compassion, openess, and justice seeking.
All genders are capable of upholding and perpetuating patriarchal violence.
Current feminism is intersectional. A term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw which explores various intersecting oppression. For instance, a wealthy black queer woman will experience deeper layers of prejudice based on race, sexual orientation and gender but have class privilege
A poor cis white woman will experience classism but will have cis white privilege. It's imperative to use ones privilege to stand up for more marginalized people.
Feminism seeks to dismantle these oppressive systems in hopes of implementing more liberating models where people are free to express and be who they are without fear of discrimination.
Some feminists are matriarchal. Matriarchy is NOT patriarchy with women in power. Matriarchy is an entirely different system where women are leaders, and communication, accountability, and transparency are prioritized. Under matriarchy life is more sustainable for all living things.
