Question 13

Why did feminists focus on challenging male-dominated institutions?
A)They were antifamily.
B)They hated men.
C)Most perpetrators of rape are men.
D)The intuitions were re-victimizing.

Accepted Answer

Feminists focused on challenging male-dominated institutions because such institutions (e.g. the legal system, law enforcement, and the media) were often re-victimizing women who experienced gender-based violence and discrimination. They sought to hold these institutions accountable and make them more responsive to the needs and concerns of women. This was not because feminists were antifamily or hated men, but rather because they recognized that women's experiences were often marginalized and dismissed in male-dominated spaces. While it is true that most perpetrators of rape are men, this alone does not fully account for why feminists focused on challenging male-dominated institutions.
