The Dialectic of Sex (Shulamith Firestone)

*The Dialectic of Sex* by Shulamith Firestone argues that gender inequalities stem from biological differences between men and women, particularly reproductive roles. She posits that traditional gender roles reinforced hierarchy and power imbalances. Firestone advocates for radical gender equality through technological and social advances, such as reproductive freedom and new family structures, to eliminate the division rooted in biology. Her work envisions a future where gender distinctions no longer determine social status or power, challenging existing patriarchal systems and aiming for true equality beyond biological constraints.
