Modernity and Women
Çok sayıda feminist, kadınların politika dışında kalmalarının sebebinin kamusal ve özel alan ayrımını keskin bir şekilde yapan önemli ölçüde güçlü inançlar ve uygulamalar olduğunu belirtmektedirler. Onlar bu iki alandaki cinsiyete dayalı ayrımın silinip yok edilmesini savunurlar. Bu noktada politik yaşama katılma bir problem olarak ortaya çıkar çünkü feministler her iki cinsin de politikaya katılımının eşit olmasının altını çizmektedirler. Onlara göre kadının politik alandaki ikincil rolü ve hatta dışlanması modern düşünürler tarafından vurgulanmıştır. İlk siyaset kuramcıları erkeği ön plana çıkaran kuramlarını haklı göstermek için çeşitli görüşler geliştirmişlerdir. Dolayısıyla, günümüzde feministler cinsiyete dayalı ayrımcılığın klasik düşüncenin temelinde yattığına ve modern düşünce ile sürekli vurgulandığına inanmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada tartışılan konu modernite ve feminist bakışaçısı arasındaki ilişkidir ve kadının kamusal alandan atılmasının nedeninin tesadüfi olmadığını savunur. Ayrıca, liberal bireyin erkek olduğunu vurglayan modernite yaklaşımı da eleştirilmektedir.
Modernite ve Kadın
Many feminists have been arguing that women are kept out of politics due to a great number of powerful beliefs and practices that distinguish sharply between public and private. Their proposal is to wipe out the gendered characteristic of the distinction between the two spheres. At that point, participation in political life emerges as a problem since feminists propose that both should be equally involved in political life. Their argument is that the secondary role of women in the political arena or even their exclusion was perpetuated by the modern thinkers. Early political theorists developed a variety of arguments to justify their male-stream theory, so, now, many feminists see sexual inequality and sex segregation as something built into the original foundations of classical thought and they claim that the segregation remained persistent in modernity. The issue discussed in this study is the relationship between modernity and feminist perspectives stating that it is not accidental that women were so long expelled from the public sphere. Furthermore, the approach of modernity is criticized by underlining the stress on the liberal individual who is male.
