Extract

Radical feminism as a political movement is associated with a series of unjustified claims. It is, as I have been arguing, simply not true that "women are oppressed" or that "men and marriage are the primary obstacles to woman's human fulfillment." We now turn to three corollary claims: that

—monogamous marriage and the nuclear family are crucial instruments of exploitative capitalism

—romantic love is the ideology of sexism

—femininity and other manifestations of sexual differentiation are inimical to sexual equality.
