The justification process for subordination is identical across race, caste, class, and sex

Evidence

At most they were willing to grant “separate but equal status” to the other sex.* That winning formula is most significant: it is exactly that formula the Jim Crow laws put into practice with regard to black Americans; this so-called egalitarian segregation served only to introduce the most extreme forms of discrimination. This convergence is in no way pure chance: whether it is race, caste, class, or sex reduced to an inferior condition, the justification process is the same. “The eternal feminine” corresponds to “the black soul” or “the Jewish character.” — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 59

• BMF: The figuration of woman and black under a shared justificatory structure evokes the systematic good-vs-bad categorizing that divides We’s society in Zamyatin’s We — the state’s logic of classification casting deviation as inferiority.
