Radical Feminism is the belief that women's oppression is caused by the patriarchy, which is a system of male authority that is especially manifested in sexuality, personal relationships, and the family, but that spills over into the rest of the male-dominated world.
Radical Feminism holds that "the personal is political," and does not want women to be treated the same as men, but for their differences to be acknowledged, and at the same time, both equally valued. Radical feminism calls for revolution instead of reform, and wants to dismantle repressive institutions, instead of re-working them in an attempt to fix them.
Radical feminism has been criticized as excluding other identities, and focusing only on women - asking black women to value their identity as a woman more than their identity as a person of color, for instance. Radical feminism also sometimes falls into transphobia, saying that transgendered women aren't really women.
