Ecofeminism not only recognizes the multiple voices of women; located differently by race, class, age, and ethnic considerations, it centralizes those voices. It builds on the multiple perspectives of those whose perspectives are typically omitted or undervalued in dominate discourses in developing a global perspective on the role of male domination in the exploitation of women and nature. An Ecofeminist perspective is structurally pluralistic, inclusivist, and ontextualist, emphasizing through concrete example the crucial role context plays in understanding sexist and naturalist practice”. ]]> 2021-12-16 00:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/julius3337/xbwlafr5ytdsj7q/wish/1950624125 julius3337 https://padlet.com/julius3337/xbwlafr5ytdsj7q/wish/1950633993 Ecofeminism is an ideology and movement that sees climate change, gender equality, and social injustice more broadly as intrinsically related issues, all tied to masculine dominance in society. It holds that most environmental issues can be traced back to the global prioritization of qualities deemed masculine particularly the ones some would regard as toxic, like aggression and domination and those in power who embody those attributes. It also calls attention to the fact that women are disproportionately affected by environmental issues.

It uses the basic feminist tenets of equality between genders, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration to emphasize the ways both nature and women are treated by patriarchal society. Ecofeminists examine the effect of gender categories in order to demonstrate the ways in which social norms exert unjust dominance over women and nature and lead to an incomplete view of the world. Its practitioners advocate an alternative worldview that values the earth as sacred, recognizes humanity’s dependency on the natural world, and embraces all life as valuable.

It examines how gender and nature intersect, specifically how binary definitions falsely categorise opposing groups, assigning disproportionate value to one grouping and encouraging hierarchical thinking. Ecofeminism sees hierarchies exhibited in gender relations through patriarchal social structures, and in relations with nature through an anthropocentric view that humanity is more valuable than nature and all other living beings. It cites hierarchical thinking and oppositional definitions as reasonings behind the subjugation of both women and nature.
