'''Women As Sex Vendors - or, Why Women Are Conservative (Being a View of the Economic - Status of Woman)''' is a book written in 1918 that argues that women have a monopoly on a human need (sex) and that this makes virtually all women more economically/socially privileged than men and also makes women members of the counter-revolutionary class in regards to communism. IN other words, the book describes virtually all women as bourgeois. This is in opposition to the more 'orthodox' Marxist view (held to some extent by Marx himself, but the book argues that the main feminist influence on Marxism was his co-author Friedrich Engels) and subsequent feminist Marxist views that women are generally 'oppressed' by capitalism and the patriarchy that it supports. | '''Women As Sex Vendors - or, Why Women Are Conservative (Being a View of the Economic - Status of Woman)''' is a book written in 1918 that argues that women have a monopoly on a human need (sex) and that this makes virtually all women more economically/socially privileged than men and also makes women members of the counter-revolutionary class in regards to communism.

The book explicitly anticipated the enormous money transfer from men to women - not just because of feminism - but because of the female monopoly on sexual access, which they collectively utilize to extract resources from men. | The book explicitly anticipated the enormous money transfer from men to women - not just because of feminism - but because of the female monopoly on sexual access, which they collectively utilize to extract resources from men. | ||
