Is consumerism slavery rebranded as female empowerment? [pt. 4/5]
Freedom looks different when you have to buy it.In episode 4 of my 5-part series on patriarchy and capitalism’s toxic partnership, we uncover how capitalism rebranded servitude as female empowerment.From the post-Reagan era to the rise of influencer feminism, the system sold women “freedom” that still serves profit.While men have to make money to prove their worth, women are taught to spend money to prove theirs. Neoliberalism turned independence into consumer identity. Beauty, success, self-care, empowerment—everything became a product.This episode breaks down how capitalism replaced control with desire—how “choice” became the slogan of a system that profits when women are taught to hate themselves and compete with each other.Tags: capitalism, feminism, patriarchy explained, consumerism, feminist podcast, modern feminism, gender roles, women and power, feminist theory, women empowerment🌸 IG: @baddestbinthebldg💓 TikTok: @baddest.b.in.the.bldg💘 Collabs/partnerships:
