Feminism versus Male Supremacy: An Assessment of the Validity of Gender Equality Theory

Feminism is a movement seeking to restore gender equality between male and female sexes. However, why seek to restore gender equality? Is the male really supreme to the female sex? This work assesses the validity of gender equality theory. The paper focuses on the examination of the abstractions presented as arguments in support of gender equality theory. This study project adopted a qualitative research design which employed a qualitative approach in the examination of the validity of the two most popular arguments which support gender equality theory. The paper concludes that, feminist conception of equality is utopian; and, wanting women’s freedom from the imposition of what is portrayed as male hegemony is simply ignoring one’s transcendence.
