The oppression of women became all the
more pronounced with the emerging of different class groups and class struggle
as presently reflected in the so-called “democratic” capitalist societies.
There, strong women organizations have been organized and maintained totally by
women, proving that woman are capable of maintaining such a complex organism.
But these women’s liberation movements fall in the fact that they grow towards
women-men confrontation. And in a patriarchal social structure, the odds are
quite formidable.
On the other hand, in socialist and communist countries
where women are given more opportunity, there is also no guarantee that the
situation will not turn into a class reduction as, shown in the history of
countries espousing this system. It is no doubt however that in the revolutionary
struggle of these countries where women and men are working together for a
common interest and goal, women have achieved a
different position. The danger is that after reaching a certain stage, women
still fall back into the ‘housewife’ role. Our concern is to avoid this.
