Strategic gender interests are derived in the first instance deductively, that is,
from the analysis of women's subordination and from the formulation of an
alternative, more satisfactory set of arrangements to those which exist. These
ethical and theoretical criteria assist in the formulation of strategic objectives to
overcome women's subordination, such as the abolition of the sexual division
of labor, the alleviation of the burden of domestic labor and childcare, the
attainment of political equality, the establishment of freedom of choice over
childbearing, and the adoption of adequate measures against male violence
and control over women (Molyneux, 1985: 232-233).3
