  • Alejandra Carrillohas quoted4 years ago
    More than anything else, my uncertainty manifested as a physical sensation, a gut-level insistence I no longer had the option to ignore. I was privileged enough to recognize a value in my own happiness and the integrity in making a sacrifice to achieve it. I also knew that to do otherwise would be, at the act’s core, a selfishness of its own.

    Yet, there’s not total agreement on exactly how patriarchy and the market economy feed into one another. The prevailing thesis is, more or less, that capitalism relies on patriarchy and, by extension, a nuclear family wherein (traditionally) female-performed domestic labour is both necessary and monetarily unvalued. Patriarchy doesn’t need capitalism, the argument goes, but capitalism does need patriarchy.
  • Nataliahas quoted6 years ago
    Late capitalism has set the conditions for our relative autonomy, while also ensuring that we play by its rules. And therein lies the rub.
  • Nataliahas quoted6 years ago
    lingering hell-no that keeps people in unhappy relationships for months and years without pulling the trigger: recognizing, after the fact, that the self-preservation instincts urging you to get out were wrong.
