Ecofeminism


Founding Philosophers of Ecofeminism

 

Core Beliefs of All Ecofeminists

  1. The oppression of women and the domination of nature are fundamentally connected.
  2. This is because patriarchal dualism places women and the concept 'Nature' in the same classification, which is deemed to be of less worth than the 'Culture/Masculine' classification. Culturally and economically womyn are placed in subordinate positions.
  3. Therefore any process that makes humanity more ecologically aware must also overcome the oppression of women.
