The 1960s was an era of social change in human memory,and many western countries wanted to help women gain more rights and began to increase their concern for women.Western feminist science also began at this time.At first,the researchers are just the amount of criticism of women in science and less difficult to be recognized as unfair,and later to the fierce criticism of the hitherto unknown traditional science,and puts forward a concept of feminist science.Feminists try to use a new perspective,namely,the perspective of women to overthrow the theory of male central,thus establishing a feminist scientific concept of the theoretical concept.Feminist view of science under social constructivism belongs to a theory of gender social construction.The main source of this feminist view of science is the combination of the feminist movement and the scientific development,a new theory of the study of the two.That is to say,combining the theory of gender social construction with the theory of scientific social construction,developing its own academic theory.This provides a new angle of view for criticizing traditional science.Feminism reveals the source of women's oppression and discrimination in traditional science.The feminist scientific view is different from the traditional epistemology.It criticizes the traditional science and constructs the feminist scientific view.They mainly started from life,and affirmed the importance of perceptual knowledge to science.They believe that science is not the only one,and should have the theory of human nature.Women have been marginalized in science,so they argue that women can go into science and get a place in science.Since feminist scientific concept develops rapidly and takes a shorter period of time,we should recognize feminist scientific view with dialectical eyes.The scientific view of feminism plays a positive role in the development of science,and makes science more comprehensive and objective.However,due to the immature development of feminist scientific concept,some theories have only been put forward and have not been demonstrated.Feminist scientific view only criticizes the traditional ideology of society.This traditional ideology is defined by feminists and is the wishful thinking of feminist scholars.Therefore,feminist view of science still has its own shortcomings and limitations.Of course,the limitation of the critique of traditional ideology is not only the problem of feminist scientific view,but also the problem of all social constructivism.
