"Kamp" is more akin to "battle" than "struggle" in energy. I would translate "kvinnekamp" as "fighting for women", but you can't really translate "klassekamp" in the same way, so you lose symmetry.

The best I can come up with on the spot is "Fighting for women is a class fight".

Yeah, this is why I find that it doesn't translate so well. The German Klassenkampf is typically translated as class struggle though, so those familiar with Marxism in English will recognize the term, flawed as it is.

It's fascinating how interconnected ideas and language is.

I really should learn Norwegian. As a German I know half your words anyway. Why am I trying to learn Italian? It's way too hot there!
