Liberal Feminism

Liberal Feminism, also called Individualist Feminism, is a culturally progressive and economically Center-right to Center-left and a little on the lib-side of the spectrum ideology that advocates that women should be allowed to maintain gender equality through their own actions and choices.

Creation
Liberal Feminism started in the late 18th century. Their goal was to gain women's suffrage under the idea that they would then gain individual liberty. Early liberal feminists had to counter the assertion that only white men deserved to be full citizens. Liberal Feminists such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Judith Sargent Murray, and Frances Wright advocated for women's full political inclusion. In 1920, after nearly 50 years of intense activism, women were finally granted the right to vote and the right to hold public office in the United States.

Civil Rights
Liberal Feminism wasn't very active for four decades after winning the vote until the 1960s during the civil rights movement. Liberal Feminists drew parallels between systemic race discrimination and sex discrimination. Groups such as the National Organization for Women, the National Women's Political Caucus, and the Women's Equity Action League were created at that time to further women's rights. In the U.S., these groups have worked for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment or "Constitutional Equity Amendment", in the hopes it will ensure that men and women are treated as equals under the democratic laws that also influence important spheres of women's lives, including reproduction, work and equal pay issues.

However they put a stop-gap on the radicalism of the initial Second Wave Feminist movement. CIA agent Gloria Steinem founded the publication of Ms. magazine, which encouraged corporate climbing & self-improvement as opposed to collective bargaining and socialism as solutions to women's strife. Steinam also instructed that meetings be "women only" and essentially making men the enemy as opposed to patriarchy & capitalism.

Modern Day
Liberal Feminism is the most popular version of Feminism in the USA today. Nowadays they mostly care about reproductive rights and abortion access, sexual harassment, voting, education, fair compensation for work, affordable childcare, affordable health care, and bringing to light the frequency of sexual and domestic violence against women. Their opponents have mostly been American conservatives who try to debunk feminist arguments such as the wage gap and arguments for abortion. Some black Feminists have also criticized them for having a "White Savior" complex.

The year 2014 gave birth to the "boss babe." It starts with the publication of Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg complimented with Beyonce's debut at the 2014 VMAs and Goldybox CEO Debby Sterling pushing for "women in STEM." Women's business clubs started to boom, and it created a space for women who sought to "pursue their projects and passions without having to be on their toes against sexual harassment." These various companies with female CEOs still replicated power and economic disparities inherent to corporate hierarchies, such as unwanted "friendly touching (grabbing butts and breasts") and denying them paid leave and access to healthcare, especially abortions. On top of these scandals and the adoption of the term by MLMs in 2018, the term "boss babe" has largely been disgraced.

However, it retains the tropes of working hard to remain independent of [often objectively douchey] men through "the grind." If it means working 8-12 hours a day for shoes & make-up, having the money to binge drink each weekend, and go on vacation every 6 months, then you're "happily ever after."

Beliefs
Liberal Feminism doesn't have a clearly defined set of beliefs, which makes them more abstract. They value individualistic approaches to justice and societal structures instead of blaming inequalities on patriarchal gender relations. They can range economically and range on the statist axis but are always progressive and in the center quadrant.

Personality
Libfem is a stereotypical upper-to-middle-class woman who has it easy in life, has some "questionable" views on males, hangs out with her siblings (except RadFem) and hates Bernie Bros and  Trump supporters.

She likes to hang out with her siblings (except RadFem). She usually agrees with her siblings on a lot of topics except Radical Feminism where she is seen picking on her other siblings. She hates Bernie Bros and Trump supporters because she sees them as supporting misogynistic men.
