Oakley distinguishes between sex and gender:
Sex- your biological makeup.
Gender- what you socially regard yourself to be.
THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT
Liberal feminists recognise the successive progress towards gender equality:
Changes in socialisation and culture - Gradually leading to more rational attitudes towards gender.
Political action to introduce anti-discriminatory laws and policies - Bringing progress to society in which
gender is no longer important.

Patriarchy is the primary and most fundamental part of all inequality and conflict.
Men are the women's main enemy.
All men oppress women. All men benefit from patriarchy.
