===Omission of power relations===
Feminist economics often assert that power relations exist within the economy, and therefore, must be assessed in economic models in ways that they previously have been overlooked.<ref name="Power, Marilyn 2011"/> For example, in "neoclassical texts, the sale of labor is viewed as a mutually beneficial exchange that benefits both parties.  No mention is made of the power inequities in the exchange which tend to give the employer power over the employee."<ref name="web" /> These power relations often favor men and there is "never any mention made of the particular difficulties that confront females in the [[Gender inequality#In the workplace|workplace]]."<ref name="web" /> Consequently, "Understanding power and [[patriarchy]] helps us to analyze how men-dominated economic institutions function and why females are often at a disadvantage in the workplace."<ref name="web" /> Feminist economists often extend these criticisms to many aspects of the social world, arguing that power relations are an endemic and important feature of society.
