The chapter “From Maturity to Old Age” reveals, dare I say it, some internalized misogyny

Ch. 3 cont: Engels also theorized about the plight of women. His ideas of sexual and gender inequality ran parallel to his theories on class struggle. Although women are unequally affected by the oppression of the proletariat and lumpenproletariat, women cannot be defined or thought of in terms of class. For one, they seek no dissolution of womanhood. Also, women’s bodies and functions are not just means of labor.

Chapter 3 notes:
Woman’s inferior treatment has been theorized by Freud and Engels. Freud said some bullshit about how women are mad deep down because they aren’t men. This is a load of shite, because his entire claim revolves around value judgements. It is due to Patriarchy that a woman would perceive male characteristics as superior to female, not nature or innate biological programming.

very interesting myths section and women's situation
