What do liberal feminists advocate regarding women's position in the family and society?

• A. They advocate revolutionary overthrow of the system
• B. They advocate reform measures within the present system that remove discrimination and allow women to make free choices between motherhood, a career, or a combination of both
• C. They believe to abandon women's employment
• D. They support keeping discrimination

Answer: (B)

Liberal feminism aims to achieve gender equality through reforms within the existing system. They argue that removing discrimination through laws and policies—like equal pay, anti-discrimination protections, equal access to education and work, and support such as affordable childcare and parental leave—will give women real freedom to choose between motherhood, a career, or both. This approach focuses on making the current institutions fairer so individual choices aren’t limited by gendered barriers. It doesn’t call for overthrowing the system or abandoning women’s employment; instead it emphasizes creating opportunities so women can decide their own paths.
