Gratitude Journal: Sunday is Day Off From "The Male Gaze," Whee!

"Capitalism & Patriarchy are Inseparable"

Alas, the "rich get richer and the poor are further exploited" problem would still pain Jesus & others.

"The male gaze influences the way women 'choose' to create their appearance. Women are told they can be liberated by expressing themselves through what they adorn their body with. But consumerism thrives as these products become more trendy and more in demand for women to convey their sexuality, personality and gender. The rich get richer and the poor are further exploited as consumerism thrives. The factories in which these lavish and beautiful items are being produced are directly abusing women who are laboring to make these items in what would be 'developing nations' from the standard of Western supremacy. The women in these factories work in order to survive, under the threat of violence. The responsibility is shifted from the exploiters to the masses as these women are hurt by imperialism and globalization."
