Feminism Is a Commercial Entity Which Establishes in a Targeted Market…isn’t That Correct?

Question by Don Raa: Feminism is a commercial entity which establishes in a targeted market…isn’t that correct?
Fifty years ago if a couple started an argument , (let’s say husband yells at wife that she hasn’t ironed his shirt) that argument would be considered a normal family problem and would be soon over. They will live happily throughout their lifetime having such small and sweet arguments.

But today such a little argument will become a big invitation for the feminists to involve in their private life. And marriage will soon end in divorce. What do you say?

Also feminism is much needed in countries like Afghanistan while most of them are gathered in USA and Europe.

Yeah, that’s why so many of us are earning the big bucks as full time, paid feminists.

I’m not sure if you’re a ranting kook who jumps from point to point without apparent connections by design (i.e. joking) or if you’re serious. I don’t understand how your “argument used to be meaningless but now ending in divorce because of feminism” rant has anything to do with your question, “feminism is a commercial entity which establishes in a targeted market.”

But yes, your question is correct. Capitalism has a way of co-opting even the most subversive “revolutions” or “revolutionaries.” Che Guevarra has become little more than a t-shirt design. William Burroughs, the beat author who wrote books from personal experience about heroin addiction, homosexuality, and who shot his wife dead, later on did a commercial for Nike.

Thomas Frank has been writing about the capitalism co-opting the counterculture for over a decade. Here’s an article by him:
