Present a criticism of difference feminism using at least one example.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples will vary but show a thorough understanding of the weak points of difference feminism. Difference feminism claims that international relations will become more peaceful as more women become political leaders because women are inherently more peaceful than men. However, as women have become world leaders, their behavior does not seem to be much different than men, and thus their example undermines the theory. For example, Margaret Thatcher had a very aggressive approach when dealing with nations that opposed her and encouraged her allies to do the same.
