Well this depends on what you actually mean by "differences". If you mean social differences -- in the conflicts of interest sense -- I think there's a valid argument that differences between men and women are class differences. That is, in the sense that we actually use the term "class" today, which is in a more general sense descriptive of "economic" inequalities rather than class in Marx's more specific sense.
