However, analyzing it further, it seems that the radical side of feminism has more weaknesses than the liberal side (Ben-Ner 2009). The way liberal feminism promotes the collapse of identity politics for men and women to be equal is a realistic goal, and this process of collapse can be seen taking place within society, as is evident from the gradual increase of women within of the workforce and the recognition that more women need to be on specific corporate boards (Epure 2014). Radical feminism, however, asserts that social policy promotes the observation of how women are vastly underrepresented within society, and to resolve this dilemma the social base must be completely readjusted to allow women greater power over men ( Thompson 2001). It is evident that this goal is not desired by the majority of the population, due to corporate boards aiming to employ the same number of women and men, rather than focusing on giving rights to women over men (WGEA 2016). Overall, it can therefore be said that radical feminism is the downfall of general feminist theory and that liberal feminism provides the most accurate analysis of women's representation in corporations.
