Cette construction de l'esprit s'oppose à la fois à l'environnementalisme et au féminisme humaniste pour lier l'oppression de la femme (plus «naturelle» que l'homme) à celle de la nature. Paradoxalement l'écoféminisme risque de revamper des thèmes chers à l'extrême-droite : «À insister sur la naturalité de la femme, on risque tout simplement de reconduire les clichés les plus éculés sur l'intuition féminine, la vocation à la maternité et l'irrationalisme de ce qui pourrait bien, dès lors, passer pour le deuxième sexe.» 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cof%C3%A9minisme

El ecofeminismo nació como contestación a lo que desde ese movimiento definen como "apropiación masculina de la agricultura y de la reproducción" (es decir, de la fertilidad de la tierra y de la fecundidad de la mujer), lo cual consideran una consecuencia del desarrollismo occidental de tipo patriarcal y economicista. Según el ecofeminismo, dicha apropiación se habría traducido en dos efectos perniciosos: la sobreexplotación de la tierra y la mercantilización de la sexualidad femenina. 1, record 1, Spanish, - ecofeminismo
