What does the Marxist feminist Margeret Bentson say about the family
The unpaid labour that a woman performs is very profitable to those who own production. His wage buys the labour of two people. The wife keeps the husband in a working condition, providing for his physical and mental needs. So that he can work properly.
The wife helps produce cheap labour and teaches the children the authoritarian ideology that is essential for the capitalist system to work.
What does Fran Ansley say about the family in a capitalist society?
The wife acts as a safety valve for the frustration that the system produces in the husband. As she comforts him his anger that could be used to revolutionalize the system is absorbed so that the man keeps working as a labourer.
Why is the feminist and Marxist ideology flawed?
They preassume a traditional model of the family, the nuclear family. (Morgan)
Show women as passive endurers.
Ignore the positive elements of the family.
