Feminists view the socialization process as a root cause of misogyny and as the potential source for teaching gender equality and respect for all people regardless of their gender. It all depends on the role models available to the individuals who are being socialized.

Socialization is the process by which children (and adults) learn from others. Generally, we learn from observing our parents during the first decade or two of our development. The socialization process is instrumental in whether a child learns to respect others and embrace the equality of all people or whether a child learns to disrespect others and treat them, especially women, as inferior subordinates.

The more positive social experiences a child has the happier and more successful they tend to be. An overabundance of negative experiences and examples can lead to an unhappier child who is pessimistic and negative in their attitudes. Lack of respect and negative attitudes about women are learned during early development and can arrest personal growth for a lifetime. A negative experience (and role model) can teach a boy that it okay to disrespect and abuse a girl or woman and it teaches a young girl that she is inferior to boys and should expect to be disrespected and abused.

Fortunately, a person who has a strong character can direct their own socialization and learn new perspectives from observing others outside the family but many, many children fall victim to their parent's failures and negative attitudes.

Socialization is interactive and dynamic, involving a reciprocal exchange between individuals and their social environment.

What is meant by cultural feminism?

While some feminists believe that all differences between men and women are socially constructed, cultural feminists believe that men are women are essentially different and seek to celebrate female difference. Cultural feminists are usually also radical feminists who believe that women are not only essentially different, but in certain ways more evolved than men. For example, cultural feminism tends to celebrate women's love, nurturing abilities, nonviolence, and emotional intelligence and view these traits as female qualities. Non-cultural feminists, on the other hand, believe that cultural feminists are buying into gender stereotypes and argue that there are no such real differences between men and women.
