“As Workers, Most Men In Our Culture (like Working Women) Are Controlled, Dominated. Unlike Working

“As workers, most men in our culture (like working women) are controlled, dominated. Unlike working women, working men are fed daily a fantasy diet of male supremacy and power. In actuality, they have very little power, and they know it. Yet they do not rebel against the economic order or make revolution. They are socialized by ruling powers to accept their dehumanization and exploitation in the public world of work, and they are taught to expect that the private world, the world of home and intimate relationships, will restore to them their sense of power, which they equate with masculinity. They are taught that they will be able to rule in the home, to control and dominate, that this is the big payoff for their acceptance of an exploitative economic social order. By condoning and perpetuating male domination of women to prevent rebellion on the job, ruling male capitalists ensure that male violence will be expressed in the home and not in the work force.”

February

It is, According to Julian, The second and shortest month, Symbolizing purification. To me, It reminds of something gone too soon which irks me. Not because I wanted it to stay but, Of the choices I could have explored. It is, The month of Amethyst and Primrose. Of unions and poems and prose. To me, It’s a reflection of autumn, Where instead of faded, fallen leaves Like soldiers in a battle; It…

Guys!

I need honest reviews about Captain Marvel. I am gonna go watch it anyway but still.

Spoiler thought on ' I care a lot':

Marla Grayson is an intelligent, ballsy, determined, charming, 4-steps ahead kind of person. She knows the law around elderly care very well and she uses that to her advantage. She is ruthless because she has been burned before in this game of being rich and powerful. She has the right amount of recklessness to take risks and she doesn't care or think that heaven and hell exists or there is something after death. She obviously has selective empathy because even though she abuses elder people she cares about her girlfriend, her employee, and her doctor friend who is killed.

Here is the thing.There are movies like these with male white protagonists all over hollywood. Its a very American and very capitalistic movie. While I like her abilities and the way she uses her skill set and Rosamund Pike does a very good job, she uses it in an immoral and unethical context. She is a bad person who simply happens to be a lesbian. Anyone can be a bad person, even minorities. So its not right to root for her and it makes sense that she is killed the way that she does (although I do admit she shouldn't have been shot by that misogynistic piece of crap who threatened to rape her, it sends a bad message.)

It doesn't have a msg per say, I guess the only thing I took away is that American legal system is so crappy that anyone can tale advantage of it and capitalism is ruining everything there.Oh and yeah be somewhat like Marla Grayson in a moral, ethical context. And maybe get her wardrobe.

Its just another movie. A popcorn watch if you will.
