Criticisms of Liberal Feminism

• Husbands and fathers still not greatly involved
  in housework.
• Cosy view of liberal feminism.
• Women's earnings.

One last important point..

• Overall, liberal feminists reject the notion that
  family life are reflections of the economic

  cultural and social aspects of male/female
  inequality are central to an understanding of the
  issues.
