Abstract

Liberal feminism remains a significant strand of feminist jurisprudence in the United States. Rooted in nineteenth- and twentieth-century liberal and feminist political theory and women’s rights advocacy, it emphasizes autonomy, dignity, and equality. Liberal feminism challenges unjust gender-based restrictions based on assumptions about men’s and women’s proper spheres and roles. Second-wave liberal legal feminism, evident in Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s constitutional litigation, challenged pervasive sex-based discrimination in law and social institutions and shifted the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause to a more skeptical review of gender-based classifications. Liberal feminists have developed robust conceptions of autonomy, liberty, privacy, and governmental obligations to promote gender equality, including in the family. Addressing internal feminist critiques, liberal feminism shows the capacity to evolve. Maintaining its focus on disrupting traditionally conceived gender roles and fostering meaningful autonomy, it adopts more a complex, nuanced discourse about sex, gender, and the gender binary and embraces new demands for inclusion and equality.
自由女性主义法学
自由女权主义至今仍是美国女权主义法学的重要分支。它植根于19世纪和20世纪的自由主义和女权主义政治理论以及妇女权利倡导,强调自主、尊严和平等。自由女权主义挑战基于性别的不公正限制,这些限制是基于对男性和女性适当领域和角色的假设。在露丝·巴德·金斯伯格(Ruth Bader Ginsburg)的宪法诉讼中,第二波自由主义法律女权主义挑战了法律和社会制度中普遍存在的基于性别的歧视,并将最高法院对平等保护条款的解释转变为对基于性别的分类进行更持怀疑态度的审查。自由女权主义者已经发展出了自主、自由、隐私和政府义务等强有力的概念,以促进性别平等,包括在家庭中。针对女权主义内部的批评,自由主义女权主义显示出发展的能力。它继续专注于打破传统观念中的性别角色,培养有意义的自主性,采用了更复杂、更微妙的关于性、性别和性别二元的话语,并接受了对包容和平等的新要求。
