Really appreciate this take. I’ve been thinking about how capitalists use religion to indoctrinate us into patriarchal gender roles so that they can exploit working-class men for their productive labour, while externalizing the costs of maintaining and reproducing the workforce through their unpaid domestic, care, community, and reproductive labour. The nuclear family isolates women and children, and makes women economically dependent on men. Her survival is dependent on, and her reproduction is controlled by her father, her husband, and the state. We are exploited for our reproduction. We are placed in a position where instead of following our natural fertility cycle, they can force us to have children as soon as we start having our first period and breed us against our will, our health, and our well-being. It’s because they need us to make more workers for the capitalists, soldiers for the state, and girls to become wives, mothers, or sexworkers. This is why they are making it more difficult for women to get reproductive healthcare that gives them control over their own reproduction. This is all so diabolical. Patriarchy inverses reality.
