View submission: capitalism's demolition will not dismantle misogyny.

One of the things that radicalized me was a history course on Mao’s China that I took during university. We read journals of men and women alive at the time, and the women had to work double shifts both for the party (farming, mining, etc) and childcare. Even in a “worker’s paradise”, no one in charge thought about domestic work, leaving women chained to their kitchens. It’s so frustrating. Without equal representation of women in leadership, we’ll never be free even if capitalism is overthrown.
