Victim feminism

"Victim feminism" is a term used by some liberal and libertarian feminists in the 1990s to contrast their conceptions of feminism with other feminists who they view as reinforcing the idea that women are weak or lacking in agency, and therefore need to be protected. This dichotomy of "victim" vs "power" was criticized for being defined too broadly so that Wolf's argument became lost. In addition it lumps together diverse and radically different feminist schools, and this confusion aids antifeminists in their rhetoric.
