Cultural feminism and substantive law

Abstract

This article is an attempt to show the continuing paradox that exists in the world of feminism, which emphasizes the essential differences between men and women, based on biological differences in reproductive ability. Cultural feminism fully criticized patriarchal culture. In the patriarchal culture, ideals of shortness, courage, and intellect, and they considered them the only special things of manin society. Cultural feminism is a kind of feminism that emphasizes the significant differences between men and women, based on biological differences in reproductive ability and also the direction within radical feminism. This is the ideology of “female nature” or “female essence”, trying to restore value to those hallmarks of women who seem to be underestimated. This theory appreciates the differencesbetween men and women, and considers the main differences not only from the point of view of biology, but also indicates the enormous influence of psychological, cultural and historical factors. Cultural feminism encourages female behavior in all areas of human life and welcomes the difference between women and men. Theorists of cultural feminism agree that in a future non-patriarchal world, all peoplewill be able to take care of each other and experience joy from intimacy without fear of public sanctions.  Key words: feminism, patriarchy, concern, equality, paradox, differences.
