Sociology
The term ‘feminist standpoint’ suggests:
taking a stand on the issues neglected by feminism
studying society from the perspective of women
the recognition of difference and diversity in women’s lives
a tendency to ignore the gendered nature of knowledge
studying society from the perspective of women
Feminist Standpoint theory developed as part of the ‘second wave’ of feminism in the 1970s and 80s. It is based on the idea that knowledge is gendered: men and women hold different views of the social world by virtue of their different experiences. Furthermore, these theorists argued that sociology had so far been ‘malestream’ in focusing on the positions of men, and that this balance needed to be redressed by doing more research on women’s lives. 61-62
