It's a definite failing because as well ignoring over half the world's population; it's also not taking into account the changing nature of work but also the very real sexism that continues to exist in every facet of society.<BR/><BR/>Falling back on the old line of women in capitalism being the slave of a wage slave, or pointing to clause four of our Declaration of Principles, with its commitment to: " . . . the emancipation of the working class will involve the emancipation of all mankind, without distinction of race or sex. . .", and telling ourselves: 'Aren't we good for saying that all these years?' isn't really good enough if we can't articulate our politics in such a fashion that doesn't alienate half the population, because we take it as read a certain stereotype of what constitutes the working class: "mustering under our banner."Imposs1904https://www.blogger.com/profile/04043116442576404667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791096.post-1114703280469571972005-04-28T11:48:00.000-04:002005-04-28T11:48:00.000-04:00How very male-based.
