I reject the idea that racism and sexism are identical to classism. Most white bigots would rather be white and poor than black and rich, and I can't imagine a misogynist who'd rather be a woman than a man. To put the shoe on the other foot, I'm sure Andrea Dworkin would rather be a dead woman than a living man. They all have their root source in ignorance and fear, but the distinctions are important, IMHO.
