This study starts with the fact that the feminist radicalism related to the popularity can not avoid to include a trap in the feminist cultural politics. In that respect the purpose of this study is to analyze the passion and its problems which the radical pursuit of the femininity appeared in the feminist culture of the 1990's has. Even though the texts in the feminist literature and the feminist culture practice can be criticized as repeating and even reenforcing the patriarchical ideology as a result, at the same time they can be evaluated as providing with a popular consensus and allowing a possibility of new analysis in popular consumption. Finally the feminist culture which combined with the popularity in the 1990's is proceeded in the two movements of affiliation and resistence. It is viewed that it can also be a focus of the discussion as either forms of criticism or agreement by proceeding this new cultural struggles, and by doing so it can practice the political and social meaning.
