Capitalism is the only social system that does not politically enshrine sexism, leading to true equality of the sexes

Doesn't capitalism exploit women?

No. Capitalism leads to the freedom of all individuals -- whether male or female -- by banishing the initiation of force from all relationships. Capitalism is the only system that leads to true equality -- an equality of rights (as opposed to an egalitarian equality of results).

Rights belong to all individuals equally. Under capitalism females have the same and equal political rights as males, since they have in principle an equal mental capacity to reason as males (though physically the average female is weaker). As capitalism is the social system that rewards though, under capitalism a woman can easily support herself, whereas in non-capitalist societies she was often looked upon as less than a male (physically in terms of brute strength she was). 

As to wages, what an individual is paid is determined by the value he can offer to others in a free market. As an illustration observe the large number women who earn enormous salaries that dwarf those of most men.
