And key to sexual equality is reproduce freedom for women, only if women can choose whether to bear children, and if only parent share the responsibilities of child

2. Social Feminism
The movement socialist focuses on removing the self-awareness of women about their underdeveloped position in society, it is very important because most
women who lived in patriarchal society especially, do not aware that they are opposed by patriarchy, this theory assumes that living in the capital society is not the only
casual factor of womens underdevelopment . Women can be liberated from this operation if the capital economic system
changed into an egalitarian society, it must begin in family as the main institution in society, in which has a freedom to own herself, not to be her husbands.

women in patriarchal society and the operation done by the bourgeois to the proletarian, within the family he is the bourgeois and the wife represents the Proletarian
