Feminist Theory

' They majority of work focuses on how different media texts have different meanings according to the sex of  the producer or audience'

There are three types of feminist groups(:

1. marxist: men are aloud to dominate women because we live in a capitalist society
2. radical: men are the most important/ most significance/power over women
3. liberal: male think that they CAN have power over women.

oedipal: fear of men having power over men
