as you pointed out too, any communist party with a weak line on women's issues is doomed to fall to reactionary patriarchal views. this is one reason i don't like blaming revisionism solely on deng: i think the groundwork was already there in the times of mao, and their line on womens' liberation simply wasn't strong enough. which, you know, is kind of the problem when your movement is run by men.
