(Redirected from Ifeminism)

Individualist feminism is a blanket term for different forms of individualist feminist ideas. This take on feminism was originally expressed in anti-capitalist publications such as Liberty, and by individualists highly critical of capitalism such as Voltairine de Cleyre and Ezra Heywood.Template:Fact However, today it is often associated with a minarchist or even anarcho-capitalist perspective, due in large part to the prominent advocacy of Wendy McElroy.Template:Fact

A core principle of individualist feminism is that all human beings have a moral and / or legal claim to their own persons and property, not to any sort of affirmative action policies or privileges.Template:Fact In most parts of Europe it is viewed as postmodern feminism because of its pluralistic view of female nature.Template:Fact While other schools often stress that women in general are living under similar circumstances, individualist feminists stress that all women are unique and have unique goals.Template:Fact
