5. Non-Violence   Establishment of a safe, peaceful, sustainable Earth for all

6. Women's Culture   Post-liberation, building a women's culture and conserving those traditions and wisdom that are specific to women

Part Three:  THINGS THAT SUPPORT WOMEN'S LIBERATION

1. Supporting the Propositions and Goals set forth above

2. Structural Transformation of global legal, economic, and social systems, not just reform

3. Systematization of radical feminist theory, including social, scientific, philosophical, and political theory

15. Separatism as an accepted alternative in housing, education, and socially for those who want it

16. Celibacy and Same-Sex relationships as accepted alternatives to heterosexual sex for those who want them

Part Four:  THINGS THAT DON'T SUPPORT WOMEN'S LIBERATION

1. Race and Class Social Stratification, as well as Sex Stratification

2. Capitalism and Social Contract Political Theory

3. The Prostitution Industry

4. The Pornography Industry

5. Rape laws based on consent legal doctrines, and social tolerance of rape

6. The institution of Marriage and compulsory heterosexuality

7. Other institutional and traditional practices that harm women worldwide, such as  toleration of domestic violence, forced marriage, child marriage, FGM, and impediments to economic independence of women

8. Neo-Liberalism  including Liberal rights-based legal concepts such as "abstract equality" and "consent", and individualistic choice and empowerment concepts

9. The idea that Gender Identity (as opposed to biological sex) is biologically-based and Immutable

10. Strict Biological Determinism, e.g. the idea that female subordination is strictly biologically determined, or the idea that male aggression is not subject to social control

11. Strict Cultural Determinism (also called Social Constructionism), to the extent that biology is not considered as at least a partial contributor to human behavior. For example, the idea that rape and violence are purely socially constructed and not subject to biological predispositions

12. "Sex-Positive" feminist theory

13. Postmodernism and Third Wave feminist theory in some important respects
