He was fairly unique among socialists as he saw sexual inequality to be a large causative factor of various social ills,<ref>The Utopian Vision of Charles Fourier, 1983, pg 339</ref> instead of solely focusing his critiques on alienation and economic exploitation, thus preceding [[Michel Clouscard]] and the main character of Michel Houellebecq's novel ''[[Whatever]]'', in his analysis of sexual deprivation from a leftist perspective.
