feminist ideology
Women's rights philosophy
Feminist ideology refers to the set of beliefs, values, and principles underlying feminism—the view that women deserve equal rights and opportunities with men.
The phrase appears most often in critical or hostile contexts, where opponents frame feminism as a rigid doctrine rather than a movement: They blamed feminist ideology for declining birth rates.
Supporters of feminism rarely describe their own views this way, preferring terms like feminist thought or feminist theory.
