MIM Theory #2 and #3
Gender and Revolutionary Feminism

MIM seeks to explain how it sees gender oppression, especially in the First World. Building on Lenin's theory of imperialism, which united theories of class and nation in one coherent unit, MIM asks whether or not gender oppression fits in so neatly with the theory of imperialism. (200+ pp.) Discusses why we do not think gender oppression is built into biology and why gender itself is not biology, our line that "all sex is rape," why strategies opposing domestic violence in the united $tates have failed miserably, how it is that wimmin in backward Albania came to have more professional equality than wimmin in the United $tates and how it is that wimmin in Mao's China had more equality than wimmin in Taiwan or Japan. Also included in this issue is the popular essay "Abolish psychology!"
