its a critique of how fighting patriarchy is subjective. Millions of feminists use things like women ceos and women in the military as examples of smashing the patriarchy. Why not focus on the concrete like “am i going to be able to buy food next week” before moving onto more subjective things?
It’s pretty easy to tell if your husband controls your bank account.
It’s pretty easy to tell if you’re being made to do work men aren’t.
Its pretty easy to tell of you’re being assaulted for presenting your gender deviantly.
I could go on.
Gender is no less material than class.
Gender is just as material as class, but what structural would you make that aren’t already rooted in class? Legal things that you would make illegal?
And you can’t say repro rights because those are class based now as well. Only working class women can’t afford bc / abortions where they are effectively outlawed in the U.S.
I think you’re moving the goalposts a but, but that’s a good question too!
Well, we could use mass media to normalize a broader range of genders and presentations
We could move to a family structure other than the hetero nuclear family
We could move away from punative justice and towards restorative justice
We could learn and teach each other to fight.
If you’re interested in this stuff, feminist abolition is the name for what you’re looking for, stuff like INCITE, Critical Resistance, etc.
