Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

How can the women reaction against corporate exploitation of women (i.e., feminism) be itself used to increase corporate profit nevertheless?

It is like women were being exploited for profit from corporates thus feminism came. Now feminism too is being exploited for profit? Either feminists are not serving their purpose then or they do not seem capable to.

Evidently this concept has been explored and it is known as commodity feminism. Here's something from an interesting paper

The relations of commodity feminism depend on both preserving the entrenched conflict between femininity and feminism and resolving this ideological contradiction by presenting resolution in the form of a consumer good. This fetishization of feminism, in effect, channels and re-articulates feminist discourse into the exchange of goods by grounding itself in a liberal feminist framework. Goldman et al states that liberal
feminism “argues that the tenets of possessive individualism must be applied regardless of gender” and with this personal freedom, one has the “right to alienate her body” (Goldman et al, 348). As a result, the notion of “possessive individualism” as the great equalizer justifies the subjugation of women’s bodies to patriarchal control
through a voyeuristic lens that systematically reduces the subjectivity of the woman to simply an object of the male gaze. This re-packaging of feminist aims further the agenda of a patriarchal and capital driven society so as to posit the sexual commodification of women in advertisements as egalitarian and empowering.

Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

I want equal rights, and I will take a corporate check for saying so. I like money and freedom.

You may want to consider how far you want to take that. Here's something of interest that I found

Commodity feminism seduces its way into our wallets, coaxing our cash and credit cards from between the folds to gamble in a titillating game of “Whose Feminism is it Anyway?” Feminism’s rising prevalence in the mainstream veers toward an insidious marketing ploy that embeds false visions of progress in the minds of the optimistic and the hopeful. This feminism works within capitalist and patriarchal frameworks to sell us a significantly less potent version of an ideology that is meant to challenge these very structures. In order for actual systemic change to occur, feminism cannot be brought to you by capitalism. Because let’s face it: Pantene isn’t going to defend you when you file a sexual harassment complaint at your corporate job.

Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

I did not realize when I posted this poll that these ideas have been pondered at length. I just stumbled across this piece. The basic idea here is that the promotion of consumption as a process of liberation, actually takes power away from women by enslaving them to the process of acquiring commodities to feel empowered. Very, very interesting.

................
Within this patriarchal context women were forced into a model of economic dependence on men. Even in the case of women who worked outside of the home, they could not own property, and on this basis were excluded from the political franchise as well. Thus, it makes sense that early critiques of gendered power relations and gender roles focused on women’s economic disenfranchisement and the prohibition on women working outside of the home (Gilman 1998; Woolf 1998). Such critiques reflected the experiences of upper class white women. Poor women, often women of color, have historically been required to work outside of the home in order to support themselves and their families, confined primarily to domestic and service sectors. Women employed in the paid workforce beyond these sectors is, broadly speaking, an achievement of feminism. However, it is also a function of increased production under industrialization and later phases of capitalism. What is often framed as an achievement of the women’s movement must also be recognized as a condition both required for and stimulated by growth of capitalist production.
................
Niche marketing trends that rely on gender tropes continue today, but of course have evolved as norms and conceptions of gender have. The older model of advertising to women as caretakers still exists, but newer models have emerged. Recognizing the gains of the feminist movement throughout the middle and latter half of the twentieth-century, advertising today interpellates women as strong, independent decision makers and money makers, and as sexually driven beings. These trends interact with another key trope deployed by advertising: that consuming allows one to express and articulate one’s individuality. Thus, a trend that we see in today’s advertising, and in popular discourse in society more generally, is that women are independent social actors who express their identities and independence through consumption.

What we find troubling about this trend is that the notion of women’s independence, as articulated in this particular way, is premised on participation in the system of global capitalism, as opposed to aligned with feminist epistemologies of equality. This situation today is far removed from Virigina Woolf’s plea for a “room of [her] own,” in that it is not about having freedom from patriarchal control in society, it is about having the freedom and power to acquire the goods that one wants in service of projecting an independent image and lifestyle. Problematically, for most women consumers today, as with most consumers of any gender, consumption is hardly an act of empowerment, but rather an act that creates debt and further binds one to the exploitative system of global capitalism and finance. This is represented and perpetuated in part due to widespread attention in popular culture today to celebrity lifestyle. Its luxurious and expensive trappings fuel the consumer desire for goods, both expensive and cheap (see the vast array of “knock-offs” available today).

WOW! That was powerful.

OMG, this stuff is so deep. I just remembered these lyrics

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it

No. I'm serious. I honestly had never thought about it like that. Damn!!!
Women are being conditioned to believe that the act of consuming commodities is empowering, when in reality it is enslaving. Damn!!!

That is sinister brilliance. They put someone like Beyonce on a pedestal as a model for the modern feminist ideal. Damn!!!!
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

So the question is, have feminists been used by corporations to exploit women to increase corporate profit?

Any answer could only be as good as the question. ;)
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

Marketing is marketing, and everyone is targetted within their demographic group, and susceptible to whatever extent.

Women however, are easier to exploit b/c they are more susceptible to emotional manipulation - both good and bad. I remember reading about how the conspirators of the French Revolution took into account the need to sew unrest and discontent amongst the women - as the old saying goes, '... when mama ain't happy, no one's happy'.

Women tend to vote in higher numbers for the Democratic Party, and are always more supportive of socialist policy pitches - that is to say it is easier to sell them a warm and fuzzy bill of goods, as opposed to them being able to see the bigger picture of principle, and reject the manipulation.

It is safe to say that without the support of women, the Establishment promoted anti-American, anti-freedom agenda would not be nearly as far along. As it is, we are within a few short years of collapse - the Establishment has been working toward this collapse for decades, and women and minorities have played a major role in destroying America, and with it our freedom.

I don't understand what you mean. For me, I had never thought about it quite like that. Right now, as we speak, I'm sitting here at my business trying to sell women clothes.

While your post has some points, no offense, but I find your apparent assertion that the establishment is working for the collapse of America to be absurd.
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

I don't understand what you mean. For me, I had never thought about it quite like that. Right now, as we speak, I'm sitting here at my business trying to sell women clothes.

A few things that came to my mind when I read your question:

First, wasn't the right to purchase freely and to participate in the market like men a legitimate demand of feminists? If yes, this is not invalidated just because corporations with their own interests "sponsored" efforts to achieve that.

Second, even if it's true that market forces did play a role in abolishing discrimination of women, that doesn't invalidate this cause (assuming it's just, which I do). So asking that question about feminism would be just as absurd as asking "did corporations abuse the Founding Fathers and their soldiers in the American Revolution, because they wanted to make revenues by making tributaries paying consumers?", or "was the civil rights movement abused by corporations just because they wanted to sell stuff to black people?" -- these question imply a sinister plot where, in fact, markets just contributed to causes that were just regardless of the interests of corporations.

In most social and political developments, you find many different interests that unite for a common cause for very different reasons. I don't see what's the problem with that, as long as the development is just.

I understand what you are saying. But what I find troubling is that the association of the ideals of feminism, such as the liberation and empowerment of women, with the act of purchasing consumer goods, has the effect of conditioning women to believe that the purchase of such goods is itself empowering. And that is troubling, because in most cases, such consumption leads not to empowerment, but debt slavery. Now you may say that no one is forcing women to purchase the products. But, in a sense, constantly bombarding women's minds with such propaganda uses the powerful force of suggestion to indeed coerce, although through subtle means, such consumption.

Yes, you have a point, but I'd say this is exactly what used to happen to men already, and allowing women to participate in it made both genders more equal -- apparently not just in good, but in bad too. ;)

Also, I'm not sure I share your skepticism about consumerism. Sure, it often plays a too important role in society IMO, when it causes people to neglect the development of less superficial values, but seriously, who wants to miss it? And I don't think it's consumerism that causes debt slavery. That can happen and happens all the time in non-consumerist, but poverty stricken circles and countries too -- when you buy more than you can afford, beyond the things necessary for fulfilling your basic needs, that's definitely your own responsibility, not of those who tell you you absolutely need this or that, IMO. If you end up in debts not because of poverty, but because you keep buying as a substitute for something else, or because you want to impress your neighbors, go check your priorities and values.
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

While your post has some points, no offense, but I find your apparent assertion that the establishment is working for the collapse of America to be absurd.

Whereas, I would argue you would have to be wilfully blind not to see that collapse is in our near future, and the conditions for that collapse are being deliberately manipulated.

Booms, crashes, and bubbles have been artificial creations ever since the The Federal Reserve Act was passed into law - and before actually with the shenanignas of JP Morgan and his gang of merry criminals shaking the markets in the 1890's and creating the 1907 panic that provided the justification for the FedRes.

As Charles Lindburgh Sr. said on the floor of the House the day after The Federal Reserve Act was passed, "The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation... if the trusts can get another period of inflation, they figure they can unload the stocks on the people at high prices during the excitement and then bring on a panic and buy them back at low prices...

"The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed".

Of course Lindburgh was exactly right - and the period of "inflation" was "the roaring 20's", after which the Robber Barons collapsed the stock market, refused to come to the rescue of the banks as was required by law, they prolonged the agony throughout the 30's and gave us the "Great Depression", bought up companies for pennies on the dollar, and used their position within the government to write regulatory legislation that crippled their competitors and gave them complete control of entire industries.

If you were connected to the Money Trust at that time, you realized unbelievable profits - as Joseph Kennedy did. Prior to the stock market crash his net worth was estimated to be somewhere round $4 million, by 1935 his wealth had grown to over $100 million. Not everyone suffered during the depression.

And so it goes... the Federal Reserve has been manipulating monetary policy for their benefit, and for the purpose of manipulating the population into enslaving themselves - it is the Establishment that was behind all of the social safety net legislation throughout the 20th century, and too with Obamacare. You don't fear that which you control.

No, collapse makes perfect sense... just as the market crash of '29 made perfect sense, and the artificially created depression that followed made perfect sense. The long term goal has always been to get rid of the U.S. Constitution and replace it with an open-ended document that fully empowers the government. The American people would never willingly agree to tear up the Constitution - unless they were under tremendous duress, i.e. "crisis"... as should be obvious, not everyone is afraid of "crisis", not everyone suffers during "hard times"... indeed, in such times there is great opportunity.

IMHO such a system of vicious exploitation is a result of irresponsible leadership. People really have little choice in the matter because the conditioning is put into place from early childhood when it is simply not possible to understand the effect such propaganda is having on the mind. And again, you may say it's your responsibility and ultimately that is true. However you could also say that there is no need for any sort of protection because people should be self sufficient and be fully responsible for the choices they make. Why offer police protection, if people have the ability to buy guns to protect themselves? If you don't or unable to buy one, or are not able to use it to properly defend yourself, that's your responsibility. Why label the ingredients of food when people could send the product to the lab for analysis?

You make good points, and I share some of your concerns. I'm not a person who emphasizes individual responsibility as much as others do, but likewise, I don't believe we're just the product of our environment and can't escape it either. Neither existence shapes consciousness nor vice versa, but both shape each other to some extent, IMO.

I'm all with you when you say there must be limits and regulations on markets and advertisement. I guess even the most extreme market advocates will agree that their ideal of truly free markets can only be reached when there is no information asymmetry. Now perfect information symmetry is probably impossible, which is why a truly free market is an illusion, but at least we can try to make sure there is no gross asymmetry: Of course companies are not allowed to lie about their products. I also think it's a perfectly legitimate demand to force companies to print ingredients and nutrient charts on the food they're selling -- to allow consumers to make informed decisions not just in theory, but in practize too. I don't even have a problem with taxes on goods such as tobacco, when the revenues are used to support the health sector. Or banning ads for tobacco and alcohol whereever minors might see them. That's just what comes to my mind from the top of my head, perhaps there are many more examples.

But still I believe as long as you're not being lied to by the companies, and they properly inform you, it's up to you to decide. And to take risks. So if you feel it's worth the health problems to smoke, it's fine when you do that.

There is no doubt that the Federal Reserve manipulates the supply of money in such a way as to benefit the stability and profitability of banks. When they do so, they are actually acting in the interests of those who possess very large amounts of capital. Of course, they feel that when they do this, they are actually acting in everyone's interests, although that is not necessarily true.

While it is true that they may indeed engineer some damage to some of the actors in the financial system from time to time, that is done for the preservation of the system itself, not to destroy it. And that's where I think we have a difference of opinion. Furthermore, I would say that what is actually happening over time is that the system will become more and more totalitarian. Using the war on terror as an excuse, along with the power to control the supply of money, as you have mentioned, people in general will experience less individual freedom, and less opportunity for financial advancement. But again, this will be done for the sake of the preservation of the system. And as people in general become more selfish, persons in position of power will become more selfish, with the result that they will use the levers of financial and government power to take the maximum advantage of people who don't have power, with no thought for their well being. Although that is what will happen, I doubt very seriously if there is a group of people that have actually formulated a plan that has explicitly and deliberately set those goals.
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

Edward Bernays, the father of modern propaganda, was famous for his Torches of Freedom march. Basically, Bernays was hired by the big tobacco companies to get women to smoke so the companies could increase their profits by selling women cigarettes. To accomplish this, Bernays got prominent women, who were involved in the campaign for women's rights, to organize a giant march of women cigarettes, as a symbol of their freedom.

It appears that the rise in feminism can be traced to the desire by corporations to exploit women for profit.

So the question is, have feminists been used by corporations to exploit women to increase corporate profit?

not feminists but women have been used by corporations to exploit their sexualiaty.they have been presented as sexual objects in every kind of commercials,magazines .

You are right on mark when you say that the decisions we make and state of mind are not strictly the result of environmental influences. Of this there is no doubt. The individual does have some choice in the matter. However, the choices that are available are the result of a combination of his inherent fortune and what is available in his environment. Now you may say that the individual has the ability to alter his fortune and his environment, and while that is true, again he is limited in that matter by his inherent fortune in the form of his mental state, his intelligence, his physical state, and his financial position. And that inherent state, he has no control of. That state, quite frankly, has been imposed on him. As such, those that have, for whatever reason, as a result of that inherent state more facilities to control the environment, should exercise responsible leadership, and try to, as far as possible create an environment such that all persons will have the maximum opportunity to experience good fortune. If they instead do things like manipulating people's minds to falsely believe that things like smoking cigarettes will grant them freedom and independence, then that, quite frankly is sinister, and is not in the best interests of individuals and society as a whole.
 
Re: Have Feminists Been Used To Exploit Women For Corporate Profit?

So much for the purpose of feminism countering corporate patriarchy then.

That is certainly true, if feminism tries to do so through the mechanism of commodity feminism, thus described.

That is true. But my point is that feminists have been used in some instances by corporations to accomplish such exploitation. Take Beyonce as an example. According to her, she is a feminist, and indeed there are some that see her as such. But, her activities support the notion of the use of women as objects, which is opposed to the principles of freedom and independence that feminism claims to champion.

partly l agree but l can claim she is free and independent and l dont think she is as idiotic as rihanna.it depends on how one interprets the concept of feminism.it doesnt mean denying your nature ,your evolutional facts and trying to change your hormones

Once again we have a clear cut case of an ideology that takes an innoxious word such as "feminism" or feminist" and prevaricates it into something pejorative, which in my opinion, renders the question as less than intelligent.
