Unfortunate Marriage Between Transcended Marxism And Feminism

With the progress and development of human civilization, the problem of inequality between men and women has been improved in many ways, but the implicit knowledge and institutional inequality remains entrenched. The absence of a gender perspective is the best description of normality. In the1970s, the socialist feminist thinkers around the relationship between capitalism and patriarchy launched a debate this issue, forming a binary system of two-tier system and a theoretical point of view. Iris Young critically dual system theory, under the capitalist system to explore the root causes of women’s oppression, in a subservient position of knowledge and systems that "class " category Marxist gender blind, dual system theory " patriarchy "category cannot be independent of the material mode of production and its parallel. She put " gender division of labor " as the key areas to analyze the situation of women that the gender division of labor as a manifestation of patriarchy, resulting in the marginalization of women in labor, so the situation of women with the development of capitalism is not improved, but worse. Capitalism and patriarchy are one of the essential characteristics of patriarchal capitalism. To change the status of women’s oppression, liberation of women, we should criticize capitalist ideology, even the overthrow of capitalism improved political, economic, cultural and social system. Articles in parsing Iris Young monist theory, based on their theoretical contributions and shortcomings discussed that she " gender division of labor," this perspective to explore the patriarchal oppression of capitalist society is theoretically a major innovation, the analysis of contemporary Chinese women’s issues also have some significance, but the capitalist society of women’s subordination and oppression of patriarchy is entirely due to the phenomenon of one-sided. Achieve gender equality in the emancipation of women, whether in capitalist society or in socialist China, the need is all walks of life, especially the oppression of women to effectively raise their awareness, action, and to organize social, political, economic, cultural and other types of practices and institutional innovations to go to a proactive stance to change women encountered various external and covert discrimination situation.Capitalism and patriarchy, in a capitalist society, patriarchy is dominated by the two systems combined with each other to form a capitalist patriarchy, so that women can only be detained in labor in the family, from all aspects of the oppression of women, including family production units, labor remuneration, etc., so that tends to marginalize the status of women. And deprivation of legal rights of women at all levels. With the development of the status of women in capitalist worse, women are doubly oppressed by social labor and family labor. Cause of women in low status in a capitalist society, the situation of inequality between men and women will follow.To Iris Young, represented by capitalist patriarchy theory, advocated capitalism and patriarchy should be seen as a consolidation of the social system, dominated by the industrialized capitalist patriarchy seen as the root of women’s oppression. This claim makes the social status of women in a more focused analysis, women’s issues are a very complex historical periods and in various forms in a variety of social issues, which includes the social and political factors, economic and cultural. In capitalist societies, women’s issues exist in the institutional and ideological aspects of capitalism, criticism can only be based on historical materialism women as part of the pursuit of freedom and liberation groups, but also to achieve a combination of feminism and Marxism.
