Although feminists primary commitment is to women and to ending women's oppression, their revolutionary goal nevertheless extends beyond women to men. For men and women are what history has made of them, and if women change, men, too, will change, albeit unwillingly. As Madeleine Gagnon rightly acknowledges, "I cannot liberate my sex without yours since we are inextricably linked by a history that has objectified our bodies."
This feminist revolution is not, however, always recognized as such by those impatient for social change, who identify revolution with the seizure of state power and evaluate political theory, organization and strategy in terms of their effectiveness in achieving that goal. We do not believe that such revolutions hold out much hope for women. From our point of view, they can only be, at best, palace-revolutions, changes of government and not changes of power relations themselves. Such revolutions are incapable of generating the radical social transformations which women desire and require for their liberation, because the men and women who make them will remain men and women created by, for, and within the social relations of patriarchy. We have internalized those oppressive relations and we are constituted by them. Seizing state power will not change that. On the contrary, the kind of organizational structures and strategies required for such an assault hierarchical, impersonal, disciplined, pragmatic, instrumental, authoritarian, self-sacrificing and inevitably blood-letting, demand the very same kind of human beings we are rebelling against men and women who will assume or submit to leadership, authority and bureaucratic control and to the fragmentation of their lives into the personal and the political, their actions into means and ends, themselves into rational and emotional, objective and subjective… and so on. These characteristics will not disappear overnight once such a revolution has been won; indeed they cannot, for they are also required for the successful exercise of State power once it has been seized.
