Radfem, short for radical feminism, is a movement within feminism that seeks to challenge and dismantle the root causes of gender inequality. It views patriarchy—the social system that privileges men over women—as fundamental to many societal issues. Radfems advocate for deep-rooted changes to institutions, cultural norms, and power structures to achieve true gender equality. They often focus on issues like gender roles, reproductive rights, and the ways society perpetuates gender-based oppression. While their approaches and beliefs vary, they generally aim to transform societal systems to eliminate gender-based discrimination and oppression entirely.
