Feminist movements and ideologies
Radical feminism considers the male-controlled capitalist hierarchy, which it describes as sexist, as the defining feature of women's oppression. Radical feminists believe that women can free themselves only when they have done away with what they consider an inherently oppressive and dominating patriarchal system. Radical feminists feel that there is a male-based authority and power structure and that it is responsible for oppression and inequality, and that, as long as the system and its values are in place, society will not be able to be reformed in any significant way. Some radical feminists see no alternatives other than the total uprooting and reconstruction of society in order to achieve their goals.
Deep Green Resistance
The organization has denied these claims, explaining that "DGR does not condone dehumanization or violence against anyone, including people who describe themselves as trans." The website asserts that DGR holds "a difference of opinion about the definition of gender" with genderists, and states that "genderists think gender is an identity, an internal set of feelings people might have. Radical feminists think gender is a caste system." DGR's view of gender as a caste system implies that gender is "a brutal and corrupt arrangement of power" that requires complete "dismantling" instead of being made "more inclusive" so that egalitarian, spontaneous, and free behavior can emerge. DGR, as self-described radical feminists, are "critical of gender itself. We are not gender reformists—we are gender abolitionists."
