Apreender a diferença em termos dialéticos é tornar aparentes os termos contraditórios a serem resolvidos. Entender a realidade social em termos do materialismo dialético é apreender as oposições entre classes, termo a termo, e fazer com que se encontrem na mesma cópula (um conflito na ordem social), o que também configura uma resolução (uma abolição na ordem social) das contradições aparentes.

A luta de classes é precisamente aquilo que resolve as contradições entre duas classes opostas, ao aboli-las ao mesmo tempo que as constitui e as revela enquanto classes. A luta de classes entre homens e mulheres, que deveria ser empreendida por todas as mulheres, é aquela que resolve as contradições entre os sexos, abolindo-as e, ao mesmo tempo, fazendo com que sejam compreendidas.

What does "feminist" mean? Feminist is formed with the word "femme," "woman," and means: someone who fights for women. For many of us it means someone who fights for women as a class and for the disappearance of this class. For many others it means someone who fight for woman and her defense – for the myth, then, and its reenforcement.

The women say that it may be that the feminaries have fulfilled their function. They say they have no means of knowing. They say that thoroughly indoctrinated as they are with ancient texts no longer to hand, these seem to them outdated. All they can do to avoid being encumbered with useless knowledge is to heap them up in the squares and set fire to them. That would be an excuse for celebrations.

Elas dizem que aprenderam a contar com a própria força. Dizem que sabem o que significa estarem juntas. Dizem que aquelas que reivindicam uma nova língua primeiro se deparam com a violência. Dizem que aquelas que querem transformar o mundo primeiro se apoderam de fuzis. Dizem que começam do zero. Dizem que um novo mundo está surgindo.

La conscience de l'oppression n'est pas seulement une réaction (une lutte) contre l'oppression. C'est une totale réévaluation conceptuelle du monde social.

Car la catégorie de sexe est le produit de la société hétérosexuelle qui impose aux femmes l'obligation absolue de la reproduction de "l'espèce", c'est-à-dire, de la reproduction de la société hétérosexuelle
