Aesthetic Labour: Rethinking Beauty Politics in Neoliberalism | Rosalind Gill, Ana Sofia Elias, Christina Scharff

“In this distinctively postfeminist and neoliberal moment, beauty pressures have intensified, extensified and also moved into the realm of subjectivity in new and pernicious ways, facilitated by new technologies and by aggressive consumer capitalism that is colonising women‘s bodies.”

“But what if liberalism itself harbours male dominance, what if male superordination is inscribed in liberalism‘s core values of liberty—rooted in autonomy and centred on self-interest—and equality—defines as sameness and confined to the public sphere?“

witofthestaircase “In this critique, masculinist social norms are part of the very architecture of liberalism; they structure its divisions and population of the social space and govern its production and regulation of subjects. These are the norms that produce and privilege masculine public beings.” 6y
WomanistBibliophile Very true. When people wonder how it is that male dominance and white dominance still persist “in 2018” I think this is a large part of it— 6y
