lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers: lemonsharks: graypyre: I just sent this to my husband and his response was “you can’t put a price on that” uh, yeah you can, they just did. The ’70s Feminist Manifesto That’s Still a Must-Read Today This is why I say capitalism and the patriarchy are intrinsically linked. Capitalism only functions if you have a class of people doing unpaid labour to keep workers supported and families running. Traditionally, that class has been women. Marriage in this way creates the idea that women are chattels, which leads to a lot of other damaging ideas such as entitlement to sex, which leads to rape culture, or the extreme pressure put on women to be beautiful. Anyway the point is that capitalism relies on patriarchy to function and therefore we cannot destroy the patriarchy under capitalism. -- source link
