Who would have thought these are closely related issues!
How do you get a Pure Race? One way is to stop your women sleeping around. Then a man knows who his children are and there is the possibility of pure inheritance down the male line. In this world the man can sleep around, cos any man who cannot control his women deserves to lose control of the lineage. Pure Paternal lineage also makes a Race. Interestingly this corresponds to the nucleic acid.
The other way is to define the Race by maternal line like the Jews. Then women can sleep around and all their children count as the Race. Interestingly in modern thinking this corresponds to the mitochondrial DNA.
But what when a child is born to a Patriarchal father and a Matriarchal mother? Say a Israeli Muslim male married a Israeli Jewish female? The Mother will claim the child is Jewish and the father will claim the child is Arab. The child is actually both! Their Mitochondrial DNA is Jewish and their Nucleic DNA is Arab!
Anyway Women's Liberation is the process of eradicating patriarchal line and either removing the idea of race, making race depend upon female line. Women's Liberation very much suits the Jewish side of thinking. But perhaps in that Matriarchal world there should be "Men's Liberation"?
So the idea about Gender Liberation especially Women's are intimately linked to ideas of race. Who would have thought!
