Question

what is feminism and radical feminism ?

Answer 1

The first wave of feminism in the past was the gateway for upper and middle class for white women for achieving the right to vote, unlike white male who already had the right to vote. The feminism second wave focused on the slavery abolition and equality between gender and race. The third wave included providing a high priority of equal rights among male and female within economic, social, and political grounds.

Radical feminists have depicted themselves to be entirely contradictory to the ideas as established by the past waves of feminism. The radical feminists focused on ideas in the society to follow matriarchal ideology, instead of supporting and creating equality between gender and race, which is similar to the approach of patriarchal society only with a flip in gender. It is sexist towards male and contemptuous towards conventional "roles" such as keeping house and raising your own children yourself.
