[QUOTE]Originally posted by Queer Power: [QB] So you're saying that rich women and poor women belong to the same class? That at my last job I was in the dominant class over my female manager? Doesn't this deny class divisions amongst women? Capitalist women don't work for a wage, so they're certainly not concerned with making less per hour then men... All women don't have shared interest. A woman who owns a business does not have the same interest as the women she employs. A woman who's a judge or prison guard does not have the same interest as a women who's in prison. The men and women who work at that business and the men and women who are sentenced to prison terms by that judge DO have common interests. I'm not saying women should "help men". I'm saying exploited people should assert their common interests against capital and the state, and that bosses and cops are enemies no matter what's between their legs. If you want to place these ideas in the feminist canon, I would look to the autonomous marxist feminists of the late 70'x, particularly in Italy and the theories that emerged from those struggles, though I'm more drawn to the history of extremist groups like Os Cangaceiros. As far as the paragraph you quoted from 'Justice is a Women With a Sword', I totally agree with it. I think every woman - and man - should have the tools (weapons) and knowledge available to defend themself from an attacker. Abusers are not going to change anytime soon, but women can arm themselves right now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
