brewer feminism is a movement. Could a feminist movement occur in a primitive society? If so, why? If not, why not?
Jeanne, Is there equality in a primitive society such as you describe? 
Maybe. Sure. Why not?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Your friendly neighborhood heathen  Religious Views: I am the creator goddess. Prove me wrong.
What primitive society are you planning on moving to?
I don't believe you. Get over it.

And now we're back to which type of feminism or what do you consider feminism. Could there be one, I don't know. I can't even fathom where the hell you're trying to go with this thread, other than repeating yourself. Tell me, do the acts of one female upholding a "feminist" idea(l) constitute feminism or a movement? No, how about two, three, .....

Jeanne,
So what conditions would have to exist for a feminist movement to be considered necessary? 
It would depend on the details of the society whether any kind of movement could arise. How primitive are we talking?

Alex,
Well, why don't you give a scenario. Imagine a primitive culture, and then see if you can imagine how there would be a perceived need for a feminist movement.
We're working up to 7 pages of "you do the work, I'll make the comments".
Are you the reincarnation of PS?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
In early hunter-gatherer societies I would think the people were too busy surviving to enforce gender roles, apart from the obvious biological roles, presumably. So I would imagine that everything was treated as a communal task, as we see in many modern apes.
In such cases, obviously, feminism, as we see it today (and not the extremist, man hating feminism) was not required. It was likely not until the introductions of some forms of theism that women were no longer treated as equals and where feminism was needed.
