Gender feminism is a term used in relation to other forms of feminism. According to Wendy McElroy and Christina Hoff Sommers, gender or political feminism is defined in opposition to individualist feminism.^[1]^[2]

The term was used especially in the early 1990s^[3]^[4]^[5] to refer to some different concepts. It has been used to distinguish perceived radical feminism in comparison to liberal feminism.^[3] It has also been used in relation to some feminists' arguments about gendering and other topics: that all cognition is gendered and that all knowledge is gendered.^[4]

A category of anti-gender feminism has also been described.^[5]

Under this new form of what Haraway calls "anti-racist," indeed, this is even an anti-gender feminism, she asserts, "there is no place for women," only "geometries of difference and contradiction crucial to women's cyborg identities" (Haraway 1991, 171).
