	Feminism ideology can take many different forms. In the 1970's, women started developing a theory which helped to explain their oppression. By the 1980's, feminists started disagreeing on particular issues linked to feminism. What was once one theory, began to branch out into many theories that focused on different feminist issues.
What is the main focus of radical feminism?
		
	 
	Radical feminists believe that society must be changed at its core in order to dissolve matriarchy, not just through acts of legislation. Unfortunately, this type of feminism also attracts a lot of negative media attention creating a negative view of feminism. Radical feminists believe that the domination of men is the oldest and worst kind of oppression in the world so their focus is on young girls who should be brought up to rule the world and banish men from their pedestal.
	 
	Radical feminism focuses on men as oppressors. Radical feminists view prostitution as a reinforcement, perpetuation, subordination, and exploitation of women.
	
	Radical feminism is a philosophy emphasizing the patriarchal roots of inequality between men and women, or, more specifically, social dominance of men by women.
	
	Radical feminism is a "current" within feminism that focuses on the theory of patriarchy as a system of power that organizes society into a complex of relationships based on an assumption of "female supremacy" used to oppress men. Radical feminism aims at challenging and at overthrowing patriarchy by opposing standard gender roles and the female oppression of men, and calls for a radical reordering of society.
	
	Radical feminists tend to be more militant in their approach (radical as "getting to the root"). Radical feminism opposes existing political and social organization in general because it is inherently tied to matriarchy.
