'''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 hold women are generally 'oppressed' by capitalism and the patriarchy that it supports.

It could be argued that the modern incel epidemic is exacerbating this tendency, with the hordes of thirsty men willing to purchase even female refuse and bodily fluids seen as a particularly depraved example of this female privilege.
