By Feminism has traditionally been identified with the left. In the western world, social processes are viewed through the lenses of two opposing camps. On the one side is Left, and it includes feminists, socialists, communists. Left-wing politics are political positions or activities that accept or support social equality, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality.
On the other side is the Right, which includes traditionalists, capitalism, religion and established social structures. The Right-wing politics are political positions or activities that view some forms of social stratification or social inequality as either inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically defending this position on the basis of natural law, economics or tradition. The Right generally supports liberal democracy, capitalism, the market economy, private property rights.
Ever since revolutionary Paris of the 1790s, the Left has sought to tear down social institutions and moral codes associated with tradition. Revolutionary France wished to destroy not only the monarchy and the nobility, but also organized religion and the family. The Left wishes man to go back to his natural state and supports sexual freedom because that is what one sees in the animal kingdom (although some animals mate for life). As socialist economies of Russia and China collapsed, the Left turned its focus on gender and ethnic issues.
