Disparities And The Exclusionist Feminist Perspective

An inclusionist feminist vision is a vision that most Liberal feminists abide by. This vision involves the idealism that all women fall victim to the same issues as others meaning that there is no special treatment for marginalized groups. In the same way, each minority has their own struggles and the inclusionist feminist vision does not fully recognize these differences. For this reason, in society the inclusionist feminist vision is not a viable concept simply because it does not fully recognize the difficulties marginalized groups are facing. Being that, the evidence pertaining to why the inclusionist feminist vision is not a viable one is displayed specifically throughout the works of Beverly Daniel Tatum, Cathrine Crisp, and Barbra Ethrenreich.

Another group of people that the inclusionist feminist vision would leave out would be Global women. According to Barbra Ethrenreich in her article Global Women: Nannies, Maids and sex workers in the new economy she discusses the reliance that First World countries place on the Third world, through how numerous maids and nannies are coming from those countries as they are attempting to escape poverty or injustice against women that is still prevalent in their home country. Also, female sex workers are often mistreated and abused in First and Third world countries. Granted that by taking part in the inclusionist feminist vision we are leaving out a substantial group of marginalized sex workers and female immigrants in First World countries who are clearly
