Unit 25: Future of Family: Emerging Alternatives-Nuclear Family, Marxist and Feminist Approaches

reason behind it is that the women herself keep her closed in a mirror which is in the clutches Notes
of men”.
Looking at these facts many feminist writers are agreed that the principle of Marxism is unable to
describe sufficiently between the dissimilarity among sexes. They believe this promise very sim-
ple and therefore unacceptable that Socialism ultimately will give freedom to women. Shulamith
Firestone gives this view that sexual dissimilarities are vested in biotic differences and male and
female are born with different structures. Women give birth to a child and so they depend on men.
This dependency gives birth to dissimilar relation strength inside the family. Thus according to
her the dissimilarity between male and female is not started by private property as said by Angels
but due to the function related to reproduction of women.

This is argued that women infact get freedom when their slavery for their biotic
organization will be eliminated. The answer of this question is not vested only
in reliable human-control techniques but also in artificial reproduction. Women
can get freedom when child will get birth and develop out of venter.

and birth and nurturing of child on willingness and will provide a strong foundation for a
stable family in coming future.
