Prostitution, Domestic Work, Childcare and Marriage

Looking at it abstractly and detached from reality (and history) - emphasising the rights of one group as a mechanism for correcting inequality is not in itself a bad thing. Even if we set aside V.

Capitalism is also sometimes attributed with a sexually depraved lifestyle, the promotion of homosexuality and the undermining of family values. As a counterweight to capitalism there is socialism, which in words primarily advocates equality (taking from those who have), yet in deeds is the flagbearer of feminism, which also, like yeast, undermines family values.

In the words of R. Luxemburg: "Prostitution, domestic work, childcare and marriage - all of this socialist feminism regards as ways in which the patriarchal system exploits women."

Quite recently Sweden's foreign minister M. Wallström, being a Social Democrat, announced that the state's priority would be a "feminist foreign policy", by which she primarily meant - women's rights.
