So that just as to assure elimination of economic classes requires

the revolt of the underclass (the proletariat) and in a temporary

dictatorship, their seizure of the means of production, so to assure the

elimination of sexual classes requires the revolt of the underclass

(women) and the seizure of control of reproduction: the restoration to

women of ownership of their own bodies, as well as feminine control of

human fertility, including both the new technology and all the social

institutions of childbearing and childrearing !nd just as the end goal

of socialist revolution was not only the elimination of the economic

class "privilege# but of the economic class "distinction# itself, so theend goal of feminist revolution must be, unli$e that of the first

feminist movement, not just the elimination of male "privilege# but of

the sex "distinction# itself: genital differences between human beings

would no longer matter culturally&
