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][unreliable source?]

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]
