about

According to U.N. reports, womyn do about 66% of the labor around the world, own 10% of the property, and earn 1% of the income.

Oppressive institutions in capitalism necessitate this inequality. Just like how the growth of the American economy was predicated on a reserve force of unpaid labor of slaves - and later children, and later still undocumented immigrants as well as a massive supply of Chinese, Indonesian, Bangladeshi, and South America wage-slaves - the burden of global capitalist success rests on the impoverishment and enslavement of womyn everywhere. Sure, in the U.S. womyn make a fairly decent living (although still less than men), the products we buy here in the states came off of the fucking blood of womyn and slaves everywhere else.

On top of this, archaic institutions like marriage were put into place to ensure that property was properly inherited to the right people. Womyn were used like fucking mules for imperial gain.
In most places, this type of thing does not exist anymore - but the institution is still in place. This is a way for both men and womyn to repress their sexual desires until marriage, but even here there is a sexual inequality against womyn....they make up 52% of the fucking planet. This means that if everyone had sex only with their spouse, millions and millions of womyn would be forced into eternal unwilling abstinence.
Worse still, because inheritance and family-bloodlines are perceived to be carried on through the male, places with a child-limit, like China, have exorbitantly more males than womyn (they just kill the female infants). Because of this horrible perversion, men are in a position to either rape womyn who have husbands already, or go their whole lives without "moral" sex. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to victimize the males here - what I am getting at is that because of ancient moral laws and capitalist-inflicted traditions (like the need to pass on property) womyn are forced to carry the brunt of frustration that males feel regarding stagnation and scarce sex. Infidelity isn't always a bad thing.

Toward a more equal society, and a more exciting sex life: smash the fuck out of capitalism.

lyrics

Two-thirds of the global work is done by womyn
working jobs they hate for a mere ten percent
of the wages assigned to men, by men.
We can't afford to be patient.
There are more horrors of oppression then the price of rent.
If we want to destroy capitalism, we must consider the interests of womyn.
