With what I took away from Marx is that he states that gender oppression is due to class oppression which creates this division between men and women. This leads to many of the current issues that we face, where women are mistreated in the workplace and are offered a less desirable position (with less pay) than men. This type of gender oppression can be seen as a type of racism - as the two races; males and females. It stays this way because this type of racism is in the interest of capital and the wealthy class.
