Feminism vs. Womanism — A Revaluation of All Values
The Living Philosophy
Reevaluating Feminism and Womanism in Society
This chapter examines the historical evolution of feminism and womanism, critiquing how the women's movement has inadvertently entrenched a masculinist society by prioritizing masculine values at the expense of feminine qualities.
In this episode we explore a potential Nietzschean revaluation of all values in the form of a distinction. If we separate the ideas of femininity and masculinity from females and males, we are left with two possible revaluations.
There is the fight over the respective value of men and women in society; this is the classical struggle of historical Feminism. In this episode we are going to call this the Womanist struggle.
There is another, deeper, struggle that has yet to be wrestled with on a substantial level: the distinction between the values of masculinity and of femininity. With that distinction in mind we can form a distinction between Masculinism and Feminism.
Masculinism is the triumph of Masculine values in society. Feminism is the triumph of Feminine values in society. Seen through this lens, Womanism (the historical movement we usually call Feminism) is in fact a Masculinist movement.
