To the extent that I understand this (*g*), I agree with it for the most part. Couple of points have me scratching my head.
As a corollary, that it is extremely unlikely that racism could exist in a truly non-sexist society (since there is a sense in which racism is always-already inherently misogynistic),
Huh?
I mean, I can see that some elements of racism are misogynist, but I don't see racism and sexism as inextricably linked, and I can't figure out how a non-sexist society would necessarily be free of racism.
It's even harder to imagine sexism existing in a non-heterosexist society or vice versa.
How come? This makes slightly more sense to me, since being okay with lesbians would seem to imply being okay with women, but I'm not convinced that it necessarily would. I can easily imagine a society that doesn't care who you sleep with but still cares deeply about whether your bits are dangly or not.
