Anyway, sociology time
Marxists` view of family
Marxists see a basic conflict of interest between ruling class and subject class. They see family is one of the institutions which maintain the position of ruling class and family is shaped by the capitalism. According to Engel, private property which is the heart of capitalism and is largely owned by men, it gave men greater control over women. In some respects, Marxists`s view are similar to functionalists` view, such as reproduce and socialising children. But the difference are the family are reproducing 'labour power' future generations. Unit of consumption of product of capitalism. Provide emotional support to distress worker to cope with harsh realities of capitalism and socialising children to accept the inequalities of capitalism. They see the role of female as housewife, they give emotional support and health care to workers that make worker more productive, it benefit capitalism hugely and it is free. It is the same view of point as Marxist feminist.And family responsibilities force men not to withdraw form work force.
Criticisms Of Marxism
Marxists entirely focus on the benefits that the family bring to the economy, it ignore the other benefits to individual and society.And they assume that the workers are male, female are housewives.Some sociologists did not accept the Marxist theory, therefore, they reject Marxists view of family. Sociologists generally agree economic system influence family, but disagree family is shaped by the need of the system.
Liberal feminists
Liberal Feminists seek equal rights with men and believe individuals should be treated in accordance with their talents and effort etc as opposed to characteristics of their sex ,so they try to put pressure on legal system and government to change the laws and social policies which discriminate against women.And they achieved The Equal Pay Act in 1975.
Criticism of liberal feminists
They does not recognise the all pervasive nature of patriarchy.And criticised they tries to bring more equality without changing social structure.and other criticise against feminists.
