Socialist Feminism cannot ignore the brutal reality of international capitalism.
A robust critique of capitalism is the only way to achieve a global understanding of women’s oppression.
Patriarchy predates capitalism, and the oppression of women transcends class. From unpaid domestic labor to cultural expressions of misogyny, socialism must confront the specific realities of women’s lives.
The path to achieving true equality requires a focused critique of the cultural force of patriarchy.

Hey 👋 DSA of Broward County. Pleased to meet you! I understand and sympathize with the struggle of women for their political and economic rights as human beings to be recognized and their resistance against unnecessary and sometimes brutal societal pressures; which you guys call the ‘Patriarcy’ and which I generally associate with times past. But What I don’t understand is: what does the ‘Patriarcy’ have to do with innocent lives being brutally murdered in the womb? Roe V. Wade was rightfully abolished. Just because a fetus proves to be an inconvenience to the mother doesn’t give the Constitutional right or any right to abort (kill) the fetus. No one ever, at any time has the right to take away another’s life. Now don’t get me wrong I would understand if abortion is necessary to save the mothers life or because of rape or incest and I think the question of abortion should only be left to women who fit those situations. And even if the mother’s life is at risk, abortion should not be the first resort, we can advocate for the saving of both the mother and the child. The early signs of potential birth complications can be detected and prevented and the complications that can arise during child birth that could be detrimental to the mother can be treated. And Capitalism does not pepatuate oppression of women 🙄; on the contrary, Capitalism has lifted countless women out of poverty, take Madam C.J. Walker aka Sarah Breedlove for example. And also women are not general paid less than men for the same work, in many cases women out pac men. The dilemma is that married women tend to earn less than men and less than unmarried women due to their precious and important roles as mothers. Thank you for your time!
