Feminism on Marxism - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 281 Marxism/Feminism/FeminimsVsMarxism/Mottier: For feminist Marxists, the notion of individual rights is an illusion which serves to mask the capitalist Gaus I 282 and patriarchal foundations of the liberal state, as well as its domination by a male elite. They insist particularly on the necessity of recognizing the value of 'reproductive work' accomplished by women. >Capitalism. VsMarxism: However, as Mary Dietz (1992)(1) points out, the theme of citizenship is highly underdeveloped in the Marxist critique of capitalism and representative democracy. Marxist theorists tend to reduce feminist politics to the revolutionary struggle against the state - seen as the principal source of the oppression of women - and to reduce women to their reproductive functions. >M.
