How Is Capitalism Connected To Body Positivity, The Male Gaze And Beauty Standards?

February 13, 2023 • Season 5

In today's TITs episode, I share some insight and thoughts on body positivity, body image, the male gaze, physical attraction and capitalism.
This episode has a purpose to stimulate some thoughts regarding these topics.

A train of thought and question I arrived at during this episode, (which I am yet to explore deeper, perhaps make an additional episode on):
1) Has capitalism exploited the males desire for a woman into the idea of 'the male gaze', thus raising negative body image amongst those desiring male partners?
2) And is the body positivity movement, 'combating' negative body image and 'the male gaze' (arguably created by capitalistic interest), being exploited, by capitalism?

By asking these questions, we dive deep and tap into our knowledge, energy and understanding of the root of our feelings we experience regarding our physical bodies in this modern world.

YOU ARE LOVE.

By shifting our focus on our journey, together we will make this ultimate feeling our reality, as it is truly within us.
