Describe separatism and why it is limited in its power as a feminist movement.

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Separatism developed to give women opportunities to live apart from men. The argument is that women’s values are fundamentally different than men’s. According to this movement, women value life, equality, harmony, nurturance, and peace, which cannot thrive in a capitalist, patriarchal society. The movement’s power to change the culture is limited by its adherents sequestering themselves from mainstream communities and by not assuming a public voice for their critiques of the culture.
