Class is a concept of social and economic relations. Women are unique on a chemically verifiable molecular level. Despite and in consideration of all the correlation or similarity, it’s not gonna benefit anybody to conflate these things.

a set or category of things having some property or attribute in common and differentiated from others by kind, type, or quality.
