Liberal Feminism holds that the oppression of women is the denial of their equal rights, representation, and access to opportunities. Liberal Feminism takes a gender-neutral/gender-blind appraoch and holds that all men and women are created equal and should be treated the same, and seeks to reform oppressive systems. Liberal Feminism focuses strongly on fixing women's exclusion from political power.
Radical Feminism, is, as its name implies, more radical than Liberal feminism. Radical Feminism carries the belief that "the personal is political" and sees that the oppression of women is caused by patriarchy, a system of male authority, strongly manifested in sexuality, personal relationships, and the family, and then carried over into the rest of the man-dominated world. As opposed to Liberal Feminism, Radical Feminism does not take a gender-blind/gender-neutral approach; Radical Feminism acknowledges that there are differences between men and women, and society should change to value those differences instead of devaluing the "feminine."

Radical feminism actually seeks to destroy gender inequality by dismantling oppressive institutions.
Liberal Feminism and Radical Feminism are some types pf the feminist theory.
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.

Radical feminism faces resistance primarily because it challenges deeply entrenched social norms and power structures, advocating for a fundamental restructuring of society to eliminate patriarchy. Its proposals, which can appear extreme or disruptive to traditional views on gender and family, often provoke backlash from those who feel threatened by the potential loss of established privileges. Additionally, radical feminism's critique of male behavior and systemic inequality can lead to misunderstandings and polarization, making it a contentious and divisive movement within broader feminist discourse.
Some critics have argued that modern feminism has lost its principles. However, feminism is not a stationary idea, and has to change in order to continue to be useful. Feminism has gone through many phases or waves since its advent in the United States, from First Wave Feminism all the way to Fourth Wave Feminism. Just within the U.S. feminism has changed from a movement focused on getting women the vote, and from being a movement largely run only by white, middle-class straight women, to a feminism that attempts to be more inclusive to all women, regardless of their race, ability, sexuality, religion, class and other identities. Feminism has branched into numerous subsets, such as eco-feminism, radical feminism, and (Multi)Cultural feminism, in an attempt to acknowledge all women and all their experiences. Feminism in different countries takes different forms and means different things. So feminism has changed in many ways since its advent, but it has not lost its principles. Feminism still seeks to bring equality to women, and dismantling, and dismantling oppressive institutions, which are what its principles have always been.
The main idea in "Feminism: A Transformational Politic" is that feminism is not just a movement for gender equality but a comprehensive approach to social transformation that addresses the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression. It emphasizes that true feminist activism must challenge not only sexism but also racism, classism, and other systemic injustices. By advocating for a radical rethinking of societal norms and structures, feminism aims to create a more equitable and just world for all individuals.
Yes, young women today are reluctant to identify as feminists - although with the rise of celebrity feminism this may change, however feminism was never supposed to be liked so many young women will still be reluctant to call themselves feminism for fear of not being liked. As well as feminists facing a lot of aggression, often feminism itself is difficult for people to get into because it involves learning new theories and unlearning old ways, feminists can be very critical of each other and unless you're willing to check your privileges it can be difficult to cope with...and people often write-off feminists as 'crazy' or call feminism radical and man-hating because they don't understand the way in which feminism talks or the theories used.
