This article reviews the ethical and philosophical flaws in modern feminism. Firstly, we must understand the concept of philosophical feminism. The idea defends philosophical concepts and theories that presume women’s equality. Philosophical feminism arose during the women’s movement of the 1960s and ’70s. Nowadays, the philosophy is more tribal than serving moral principles. Secondly, we will analyze the flaws of modern feminist ethics in terms of selectivity and how women ‘take control of their bodies.’ There is a need to review the original concepts and topics of the feminist theory since the first wave.
