FELLAS ! SURRENDER IN THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES , BECAUSE WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER

FELLAS ! SURRENDER IN THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES , BECAUSE WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER

AS BIG DADDY KARL MARX SAYS :

The direct, natural, and necessary relation of person to person is the relation of man to woman. In this natural species-relationship man’s relation to nature is immediately his relation to man, just as his relation to man is immediately his relation to nature – his own natural destination. In this relationship, therefore, is sensuously manifested, reduced to an observable fact, the extent to which the human essence has become nature to man, or to which nature to him has become the human essence of man. From this relationship one can therefore judge man’s whole level of development. From the character of this relationship follows how much man as a species-being, as man, has come to be himself and to comprehend himself; the relation of man to woman is the most natural relation of human being to human being. It therefore reveals the extent to which man’s natural behaviour has become human, or the extent to which the human essence in him has become a natural essence – the extent to which his human nature has come to be natural to him. This relationship also reveals the extent to which man’s need has become a human need; the extent to which, therefore, the other person as a person has become for him a need – the extent to which he in his individual existence is at the same time a social being.

Men must surrender in the Battle of the Sexes Reform in woman-man power relations in the US



"Men must surrender in the Battle of the Sexes " - John Henry

In the US, in the last fifty years, feminism has won significant victories in the law of divorce and child care, material child support from men to women enforced by the state power, thereby making significant advances in a critical area of "the personal being political" or woman-man equality of power. I'd say of the main political movements, the women's liberation movement has made the most gains in the US in the recent decades. Readily available divorce or no-fault divorce is a cornerstone 'personal is political" or "personal relations are power relations" plank of the women's liberation movement.

It was in the first Constitution of the Soviet Union back in 1918 or so. It was recently attained in the US fifty or sixty years after being won in the Soviet Union. Divorce at the will of the woman ( or man) is an extraordinary and qualitative change of the bourgeois institution of marriage. It becomes the basis for child support to the woman mainly and at the will of the women when coupled with overwhelming majority of awards of custody of minor children to the mother. This combination of legal elements is a basically a radical reform in woman-man power relations in the US.

The first progressive act of the Obama administration was to pass a pay equity for women act. This is a long term main goal of the working class or materialist women's liberation movement, equal pay for equal work. Clara Zetkin, historical leader of the working class or materialist women's liberation movement
