Gender and Capital

Just as Capital creates different places (such as positions in the workplace) indifferent to the individuals who fill them, the categories of maxist analysis, class, reserve army of labor, wage-laborer, do not explain why particular people fill particular places. They give no indication why woman are subordinates to man inside and outside the family and why it's not the other way around. Some argue that the cause for this is our difference biologically. But I argue that woman are also the cause of their subordination to man in the society. Woman expects to be with man who are successful. This creates a competition among man in the society. They want to dominate so that they can maintain their status quo. If man have to stop their domination they will loose their status quo and they believe they'll also loose woman. The man domination is human made and it's a cycle. Until woman stop dividing man into different classes, man will not stop their eny to dominate.
