In the economic base, we have the nuclear family and the exploitation of women’s labor by the bourgeoisie (who pay but one wage for the labor of two parents), as well as the treatment of women as property and the trafficking in their bodies. In the superstructure, we have gender roles and standards of presentation that have developed over time to facilitate the exploitation of man and woman alike — and we have the violent and deadly repression of anyone who violates those norms.
