Class and Gender

[Carrol Cox]

Gender is one of the major modes, perhaps _the_ major mode, in which
class is experienced. But to speak of gender as being a "class" makes it
almost impossible to discuss the topic. I still think Barbara Jeanne
Fields was right to label talk of "privileging" race or class as so much
bad slang was correct. It is as though mathematicians argued which was
more important, numerators or denominators (her comparison).
