Lisbet van Zoonen and bel hooks.

Lisbet van Zones and bel hooks both came up with feminist theories.

Vanzoonen
vanzoonen argued that that the meaning of gender varies depending on the cultural and historical context. She believed that women in the western culture women are highly sexualised and their bodies are seen as objects. in the media there is emphasis in women's bodies and the key thing the audience concentrates on when they see an image of a woman.
On the other hand male bodies are seen as the ones who objectify the women's body. We make the way we see things and we learn it through society and language.
Gender and ideas change over time, they are not fixed but dynamic.


bel hooks
She argued that feminism is  struggle for women as they are equalised and pressed by the idea that men are dominant. She believed that feminism is not the way you decide to live your life but a political commitment, which women decided to sign up to. it is their own choice.
Lastly, she argued that what causes people to be exploited, discriminated and presses is their race, class and sex. the type of discrimination you experience depends on you class or gender. everyone is discriminated in a different way. She argues the the key aim to end feminism is stop injustice and discrimination.
feminism is not a tren, but it has a purpose - to correct any injustice in our society.
