Emotional, psychological or spiritual differences between the sexes - What is your opinion about difference feminism?

Asked by mattbrowne (31732points) March 27th, 2009

Difference feminism is a philosophy that stresses that men and women are ontologically different versions of the human being. Although the title “difference feminism” is a relatively recent addition to the feminist movement, the philosophies of gender relations undergirding this category have their roots as far back as the early Greeks. Forms of difference feminism often stress a fundamental biological, emotional, psychological or spiritual difference between the sexes. Reverse gender polarity is the form of difference feminism that asserts that women, per se, are superior to men. It developed as the opposite of traditional gender polarity that asserts that men, per se, are superior to women. Traditional polarity was espoused beginning with Aristotle through more modern proponents like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
