Markist Feminism
- Argue that main reason for women's oppression is not men but capitalism.
- Women's oppression serves capitalism by:
- reproducing to make the labour force, through unpaid domestic labour.
- socialising next generation of workers.
- maintaining and servicing the current generation.
- Women also absorb the anger towards capitalism from men.
- Ainsley: 'Women are takers of ****" - soak up mens frustration of being exploited by capitalism.
- Women act as reserve army for cheap labour.
- When not needed return to primary role as unpaid domestic labour force.
