Final words on Feminism

After doing my book report and being able to discuss feminist philosophy in class, I wanted to make a final point on my views in respect to that. I have had the time to see the philosophy from many perspectives: from non- feminists, radical feminists and equality feminists. I believe there is no feminist philosophy; however, I do believe there is a way to look at things from a feminist point of view when the matter is philosophical. I personally identify as an equality feminist; I believe in women's rights and changing the world for women. However, I also believe in delivering that equality to other repressed groups and people who suffer. I think from that alone I look at certain issues with that lens. However, I do not believe that there is a purely feminist way to look at things. If so, there would be issues that would be hard to recover and analyse depending on what kind of feminist you are.

I am proud to say I am a feminist who believes in looking at philosophical issues pertaining to others in a open minded sense. If you become closed minded and too narrow I believe you lack the ability to truly understand many things. After reading that book on different feminists, I believe that there are issues philosophically that I would take a feminist perspective on, like issues dealing with reproduction, health and personal rights; however, I do not think that there is a sole feminist philosophical perspective for everything.
