Based on where you are in your exploration

Operative mechanisms of domination(in analyzing how inequality functions in society): The actual ways that power gets used to control or oppress people—the real tactics and systems that make oppression work.
Structurally(in logic and philosophy): Built into the basic framework or rules themselves, rather than added on as an afterthought.
Unifying category(in political and social theory): A single idea or label that brings different people together under one group, assuming they all share the same basic experience.
bourgeois(describing the economic status of the women being discussed): Relating to the middle or upper-middle class, usually people who own businesses or have wealth and are associated with capitalism.
incommensurable(The side and diagonal of a cube are incommensurable, posing a problem for minima theory): Two magnitudes whose ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers
sex class(Used within a patriarchal capitalist system to describe women exploited as workers in both wage work and unpaid second-shift housework.): A fourth class category, distinct from economic classes based on capital or wage labor, defined by one's position in patriarchal relations of unpaid domestic labor and gender-role exploitation.
