    Radical feminism argues that patriarchy is the primary cause of women's oppression in society. Radical feminists believe that men exploit women through women's unpaid domestic labor and by denying women access to positions of power. Radical feminists argue that gender equality can only be achieved by overthrowing patriarchal systems and structures. They are concerned with issues like male violence against women, domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, and the objectification of women in media and advertising. Radical feminists also question biological justifications for gender roles and the differential treatment of men and women, arguing that these roles are a social construction rather than inevitable results of biology.

    ----- it is created by society.
    SIMONE DE in his book SECOND SEX, has explained ,
    one may be born as female in human race, it is
    CIVILISATION which creates a women,how they
    should and should and should not behave.

    freeing women from the social contruct of eternal
    feminine.
