Problem
First Wave:
Gender is a social construct rather than a biological destiny - Simone De Beauvoir
Second Wave:
Women are not equal but superior to men. Downplaying any feminine element in women including motherhood
Third Wave: Equality while embracing difference from men. Seeing the value in being a woman.
Men's reaction and loss of role and of manhood.
Women's reaction in terms of playing two roles rather than one - the house and the job.
The problems of equality in a world of social inequality - For example: Some argued that white educated women suffer less inequality than uneducated colored men.
