EQUALITY FEMINISM.
Equality

feminist is the extension of the equality of the male and female into
theoretical and philosophical fields of thought. At its core, equality feminist
advocates for the equal standing of both men and women in terms of desires,
wants, goals, and achievement. Thus, from this viewpoint, the basis of human
nature outside of culture is androgynous, neutral, and equal.
equality feminism focuses on the relation of reason as the central tenet of
both men and women equally. Mary Wollstonecraft in "A Vindication on the
Rights of Women" (1792) claimed that women should enjoy the same legal and
political rights as men on the grounds that they are human beings. Specifically,
Wollstonecraft argues for "asserting the rights which women in common with
men ought to contend for".In this way, both men and women should have equal
access to rights because they have an equal access to the capacity to reason.

FEMINISM AS FREEDOM
In 1916,Charlotte Perkins Gilmanargued for
feminism without calling for "equality". Favoring
women's "freedom"and "fullness",she wrote, "feminism
... is the social awakening of the women of all the world.
It is that great movement which is changing the centre
of gravity in human life. It is the movement for among
other goals womens full economic independence. Antifeminists speak in their frantic fear of freedom for
women."
