User:Allendq/On the Question of Women's Liberation

He-Yin Zhen also spoke extensively about the difference between liberation and self-gratification. In particular, she finds that self-gratification, meaning female prostitution, is not a true form of liberation. Effectively, women cannot be liberated within the current class structure. Efforts for self-liberation within the power hierarchy can only lead to self-gratification, since without upending the entire structure, women still remain subservient to economics and class hierarchies.
