,,To destroy ‘woman,’ does not mean that we aim, short of physical destruction, to destroy lesbianism simultaneously with the categories of sex, because lesbianism provides for the moment the only social form in which we can live freely. Lesbian is the only concept I know of which is beyond the categories of sex, because the designated subject  is not a woman, either economically, or politically, or ideologically. For what makes a woman is a specific social relation to a man, a relation that we have previously called servitude 16 , a relation which implies personal and physical obligation as well as economic obligation. A relation which lesbians escape by refusing to become or to stay heterosexual. [...] This can be accomplished only by the destruction of heterosexuality as a social system which is based on the oppression of women by men and which produces the doctrine of the difference between the sexes to justify this oppression.’’ - Monique Wittig in One is not Born a Woman, 1981
