Connecting Sex to Class

Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff

Chapter 3 in Class Struggle on the Home Front, 2009, pp 71-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Marxian tradition has long understood that sex and class influence one another. Engels’ famous pamphlet on the origin of the family, private property, and the state recognized their interaction. Marx argued the impact of a capitalist class structure on sex activities in the Manifesto. Writers as diverse as Wilhelm Reich, Simone de Beauvoir, and Michel Foucault have also seen and examined sex-class connections utilizing, more or less, interpretations of Marx and Marxism.
