Now, let's look at the triangle when we start to divide people by these factors. Let's start with sex. Now, in a perfectly gender-equal society, we know that it would look like figure A. However, we know that's not how our society is at the moment. So it's probably more like figure B What makes class different to race, gender, sexuality, etc? Take a look at this triangle. This triangle represents society At the top, you have the very richest. And at the bottom, the very poorest. Of course, as we all know, there are many more poor people than there are rich people Figure A Figure B So what about class? What makes class different? Well - class doesn't describe something about a person's identity or physical characteristics Class describes a person's economic (and therefore political and social) relationship to the rest of society as a whole What about race? Let's examine the triangle when we divide people by race Again, we should notice that in our society today, these lines aren't exactly dividing the triangle evenly. But in general, these lines are vertical too If we draw class in the triangle of society, we notice that unlike the others, these lines are necessarily horizontal This is because class is a relation to the triangle itself uestion of distribution within Figure D Figure C It is the structure of the triangle itself - not how straight and vertical the dividing lines are within it - that should be the concern of those who truly desire to change society
