Preferred term

sex-radical feminists  

Definition

  • Sex-radical feminism refers to a specific branch of feminist thought that aims at theorizing and combating sexual oppression rather than oppression based solely on gender (as more traditional feminist factions have). In an effort to politicize sexuality, sex-radical feminists attempt to reclaim “outlaw” or counter/ nonhegemonic sexualities as valid political, cultural, and sexual identities.
