We’ve Never Lived in True Capitalism
What we live in now = a hidden patriarchy, not a free market
Capitalism is rational:
I create something of value.
You give me something of value in exchange.
Patriarchy is psychotic and delusional:
It asserts that people are things. That will never be true.
Reality check: We don’t yet know what it would mean to live in a truly capitalistic world.
Bottom note (resources/evidence):
Women’s unpaid labor = $10.8 trillion globally (UN Women).
“Patriarchy OS” functions by erasing women’s value, not recognizing it as exchange.
