“…A second commonly employed measure, the Feminist Perspectives Scale (FPS; Henley, Meng, O'Brien, McCarthy, & Sockloskie, 1998;Henley, Spalding, & Kosta, 2000), was designed to acknowledge that feminism is not monolithic, and that scholars might be able to test more hypotheses regarding feminism if we could differentiate among feminist perspectives. The measure's subscales assess diverse sets of feminist opinions and approaches: liberal feminism, marked by belief in the fundamental equality of females and males and that such equality should be protected by law and government; radical feminist positions such as sexism is the fundamental human oppression, and that men (rather than social forces such as capitalism) are the oppressors of women; socialist feminist thinking, which proposes that sexism, classism, and racism are fundamentally intertwined; cultural feminism, which suggests the world would be improved if it operated more on ''feminine values'' such as peace and gentleness rather than ''masculine values'' such as war and aggression; and womanist, which addresses racism within traditional feminist movements by focusing on poverty, ethnocentrism, and racism as equally important as and intertwined with sexism.…”
