Select one of the following topics and compose a reponse of at least 4 type-written, double-spaced pages:
- Offer an eco-feminist critique of any of the other feminist theories -- liberal, radical, socialist, psychoanalytic, existentialist. Consider issues of patriarchy and how to create a more equitable society.
- Ecofeminists suggest that discrimination and oppression based on gender, race and class are directly related to the exploitation and destruction of the environment. Explain the correlation.
- Some ecofeminists view the link between woman and nature as empowering (women are closer to nature because of their positions as mothers or homemakers. Others believe this notion is imposed by patriarchy and is degrading(that man will continue to exploit women and nature because man sees both as eternally fertile or endlessly capable of providing life). Which view do you hold? Why?
