Also belief in the existence of gender inequality in family, an inequality in the laws and roles of the society, protest to woman role as a mere housekeeper, and an inequality in women's economical advantages to men's one is upward in a medium level. Another result is that economical and socio-cultural motives in the mentioned FEMINIST tendency showed high level which is explainable and interpretable with available theoretic approaches in the social, radical, and liberal feminism. It can be said that people tend to special tendency in this context based on their different positions and they summarize a main cause of gender inequality into the same problem and this causes that people viewpoints about gender inequality may be difference and it leads to different FEMINIST TENDENCIES. Moreover, Lizrel modeling values was the fitting representation of researcher's proposal model.

Recently FEMINIST epistemology became a specific domain and in which are privileged certain research programs and some various orientations in them. M. Alcoff is a FEMINIST epistemologist who has focused on continental philosophy, feminism, politics, race-theory, and sexuality. Considering relation between knowledge and its historical-social context is special remark of her works and researches. In many of her writings, specially, Real Knowing, she maintains, in contrast with poststructuralists and pragmatists, that “truth” is a concept non-separable of, referential to, and dependent on content. She also argues for “normative subjectivity” as a fundamental, context-dependent, and non-universal, idea. Completion of an ontological, coherent account of truth-theory is her ambitious claim. Phenomenology and hermeneutics make up her philosophic method for that ambition and her critique of traditional issues as well. It seems to her that phenomenology let us to see how every idea relates to some experience and hermeneutics teaches us to consider the influence of historical-cultural context in comprehending it.

Feminism as a social movement and a epistemological system has challenged the religion as legitimating element of patriarchal structure. The FEMINIST theologists present a new category in religious studies by serious critics toward religions and emphasize on issues of gender of God. They presented a new approach in religious studies as FEMINIST theology and the idea of feminization of religion.The data shows that the FEMINIST critical approach in Christianity, the increase of women consciousness and their participation in society, especially the design of feminization of religion, the emphasis on the pluralism of religions, and personal religions with feminine approach, the conflict to fundamentalism, the presentation of female alternatives for the God and structural elements of FEMINIST theology that in which emphasis on this world and human life in it substitute to the religious approaches, are all the effects of the FEMINIST theology on the secularization in the western world.

Idris ibn Abdullah, the survivor of the martyr Fakhkh movement, founded a government in Maghrib al-Aqsa (172-375 AD). Historical reports on the essence of the religious nature of the Idrisids are different. The family bond of the founder of this government to the Prophet's family has been considered as a sign of Shi'ite beliefs of the dynasty. The prevalence of Maliki and Mu'tazilite beliefs in Idrisids domain on one hand, and their advocacies of some Zaidi beliefs on the other, as well as the compromises with the Umayyads of Andalusia and 'Ubaydids and preaching sermons to patronage them, and accompanying with the Kharijites have added more complexities to the reports. This paper, by collecting library data and evaluating the narrations of speeches and behaviors of Idrisids based on "Shi'ite governing criteria" of Shi'ite governments, such as Idrisids' conducts towards Shi'ite scholars, has investigated their TENDENCIES towards Shi'ism, E'tezal and Malikis.

Along history, women were under hard afflicting oppressions and injustices. The rights women benefit today, is the result of the struggle of great people who did hard attempts for women’s rights. On this way, not only were women after social equality, but also some men worked following the same goal. So, the present paper considers the FEMINISTic opinions of John Stein Beck, the male worldwide famous writer. Beck’s canonical novel The Grapes of Wrath is analyzed by content to examine the significance of women’s rights and social roles in the writer’s world view. The process of the establishment of the FEMINIST TENDENCIES in the western societies and the importance of the women’s social roles are finally depicted to be two Beck’s priorities in his The Grapes of Wrath.

Fictional works comprise a field the FEMINISTs take advantage of to express women's problems and concerns. Wherever there is a trace of women, feminism has challenged and cast doubt on many norms, traditions, and the dos and don'ts. Expressing women problems, some woman-oriented fictional works have also had negative effects,for these works view family, marriage, and marital relationships from an anti-value point. This is while the value of family as a small but much influential institute in providing mental health and peace for the family members and meeting their emotional needs has been ignored. The present paper tries to offer a critical analysis of family damages through studying a few FEMINIST fictional works, using the pathological approach and the comparative study method. These fictional works include The Dog and the Long Winter by Shahrnoush Parsipur, My Bird by Fariba Vafi, and the short stories The Stains, The Apartment 1, 2, 3 from the collection The Acrid Taste of Persimmon by Zoya Pirzad. The stories are selected with regard to their woman-oriented nature, their female authors, their connection with family concerns, and their female protagonists. The findings show that through foregrounding emotional divorce, opposing viewpoints in marital relationship, women's loss of identity, and official divorce, and focusing on patriarchy and misandry, these fictional works have had negative effects on the value of marriage and family as an institute.
