然而,是Linda Alcoff在"Cultural Feminism Versus Post-Structuralism: the Identity Crisis in Feminist Theory" 一文中的論述,才使得這個詞彙廣泛用於當代女性主義者,而不僅是歷史上的先驅者。Alcoff認為文化女性主義過度將女性放在被界定的位置,而這種界定來自於父權體系。[1]她認為:
文化女性主義受到一些女性和女性主義者的批評。在2004年刊載在Journal of Women in Culture and Society的文章中,Kristen Ghodsee指出來自於有色人種以及發展中國家女性的幾種批評,認為全球姊妹的概念忽略了不同種族、族群和國家女性之間權力和資源獲得的差異性。[13]:727 一個尤其來自有色人種女性和發展中國家女性的憂慮,是文化女性主義只納入白種上層女性,而未考慮到不同種族和階級的女性。[13]:727 另一個憂慮是認為文化女性主義者「未能挑戰所有的女性定義,而只挑戰了男性賦與的女性定義」,也因此她們未能定義作為一個女性的意義,反而繼續比較她們與男性的相似之處,而非定義和頌讚女性特質。[14]:11 此外,歷史學家愛麗絲·埃克霍(英语:Alice Echols) 曾撰寫文章探討男性與女性的性議題,她認為文化女性主義者相信,為了要被男性尊重,女性應該要簡制性行為,且主張建立一個基於女性的性行為標準。[15]:52她進一步認為,許多女性用這個觀念處理相關問題,造成壓抑女性擁抱自身性慾,甚至變成規定女性應有多少的性行為。[15]:52
