thoughts on readings

This week, the readings mainly focus on the relationship between Marxism and feminism. Though the three writers all hold different opinions towards this issue, they share one common idea that Marxism has limited understanding on women's oppression, because Marxism focus exclusively on the production of things while ignoring the production of people.  The three writers all come up with some great ideas to solve social problems for women, but honestly,  I find that some point in articles are too idealistic to come true. For example, they hold negative attitudes to capitalism, as it has never been able to acknowledge the value of women's labor. However, I believe since capitalism has been in control of human society for thousands years, it is reasonable somehow. I'm not mean capitalism is perfect, but at least it had improved economy  a long time before. The feminism is always arguing  for equality between men and women for decades, but the fact is that so far they never truly reach their goal, so I doubt if the revolution that they suggest is really a good way to improve women's social status. After all, these three feminisms just talk about their theories on paper, which never be applied in daily life yet. Nobody knows whether their ideas are practical or not. Maybe we can try some other solutions rather than revolution to this hard problem.
