82. From each according to her ability...

to each according to her need!

- Equal rights, duties, privileges, liberties and opportunities for all. Under the law and in all the institutions.

- Freedom for all from proscribed gender roles and conditioning.

- Equal respect and rewards for traditionally "feminine" labor and roles in childcare, schooling, household and the reproductive sphere.

It's such a simple set of ideas, and yet so drastically misrepresented -- in part by some of its adherents who reduce it to the idea of success for some women within a neoliberal order, but mostly of course by all the world's reactionary yahoos.
