Lady Bunny Instagram – I’ve never seen this described as Imperial feminism. I have seen something similar described as white feminism. As I understand it, that means rooting for an already rich female politician like Hillary Clinton to get a job promotion to president because it will “break the glass ceiling.” Even when she was offering little in terms of higher min wage and affordable healthcare to improve the lot in life of average women. So the focus becomes the career trajectory of one woman rather than solving real problems for most.
As it pertains to the Barbie movie, saying more about an award than you do about the terrible conditions women are undergoing in Gaza at the hands of Western politician is suspect. Palestinians are hard-pressed to get water and food, much less sanitary napkins. They’re being bombed to death and giving birth without anesthesia due to a blockade. Their kids now have missing limbs, and so do some of them.
Anyone can care about anything they choose to. But isn’t it a little hypocritical to care more for awards to boost rich female celebs than Palestinian women who our tax dollars pay to bomb and who don’t have food, water or anesthesia during childbirth? Barbie movie fans dream that their purchase of a movie ticket took a swipe at the patriarchy when capitalism IS the patriarchy. You watched a doll commercial. | Posted on 26/Jan/2024 02:06:14
