Equality means neither privilege nor oppression. Besides which, it hardly benefits women to have a paternalistic state treat them as children or 'lesser' human beings who need state assistance to become equal. Governments have been the greatest violators of women's rights for centuries. Whether through privilege or oppression, governments seem unwilling to respect the full and equal individual rights of women. Opposing affirmative action and defending property rights is generally associated with conservatives.
Many conservatives are uncomfortable with the way ifeminism embraces radical civil liberties.
For example, it calls for the decriminalization of prostitution and pornography. To an individualist feminist, there is no schism between economic and civil liberties. They are both expressions of an individual's right to use her own body and property in any peaceful manner she chooses. This is a controversy within ifeminism. A vocal minority within ifeminism, however, oppose abortion.
