What do you think of ecofemisnism before you read, and after? Did you have any strong reactions? What do forms of dominance do you see in the world around you?
So I figured Ecofemisnism was mainly left wing feminist ideology with a hint a environmental values thrown in. But according to the reading, I was mistaken, "The primary aims of ecofeminism are not the same as those typically associated with liberal feminism."
After the readings it still seems to be closely related to the liberal feminism and I didnt have any strong reactions. Males have been the dominant gender politically and socially throughout most of the human history. So is it a shocking that males are portrayed as being Superior, no,  are males superior, no. We live in a modern era were we are all viewed as equals (for the most part). But we can never completely rid of the the sexism between the genders. Women will see stronger support to end any form of inequality once obtaining more political power following left wing ideology. But one must remember not all men in today's time believe they are treated better than most women and there are many women who believe the men and women are being treated the same. Its just how and what instances we focus on. While people get up that a Male CEO makes more than a female CEO in some cases, how often do we here complaints about a female server making significantly more than a male. There are certain fields of work that are naturally unequal for both parties which i understand that ecofemisnism wishes to correct. Im a strong supporter of pure equality among all citizens.
As for the statement about Ecofeminists disagreeing about whether these 'male' and 'female' qualities are innate to the sexes or are simply human character traits common to us all. I have to agree its not a male or female trait, its stoley based on the person.
