Actually your reply is reactionary in Lenin ‘s sense that your philosophical
subjective idealism always results in reaction .
Also , what you say is pretty ignorant of Marxism‘s Hegelian dialectic ,
which , of course, has exclusive binary gender dialectic .
Marx makes clear that he “glosses” to exclusive binary gender , gender
essentialism reflecting binary sex in cultural superstructure very specifically
in the following. You know like woman\man giggles . You’re doing post
structuralism , not Marxism, neither dialectic nor materialism .
“ In the approach to woman as the spoil and hand-maid of communal lust is
expressed the infinite degradation in which man exists for himself, for the
secret of this approach has its unambiguous, decisive, plain and undisguised
expression in the relation of man to woman and in the manner in which the
directand natural species-relationship is conceived. The direct, natural, and
necessary relation of person to person is the relation of man to woman. In this
natural species-relationship man’s relation to nature is immediately his
relation to man, just as his relation to man is immediately his relation to
nature – his own natural destination. In this relationship, therefore, is
sensuously manifested, reduced to an observable fact, the extent to which the
human essence has become nature to man, or to which nature to him has become
the human essence of man. From this relationship one can therefore judge man’s
whole level of development. From the character of this relationship follows how
much man as a species-being, as man, has come to be himself and to comprehend
himself; the relation of man to woman is the most natural relation of human
being to human being. It therefore reveals the extent to which man’s natural
behaviour has become human, or the extent to which the human essence in him has
become a natural essence – the extent to which his human nature has come to be
natural to him. This relationship also reveals the extent to which man’s need
has become a human need; the extent to which, therefore, the other person as a
person has become for him a need – the extent to which he in his individual
existence is at the same time a social being.”
