The patriarchy still persists because men are doing everything they can to keep it alive. When it comes to trying to maintain the facade of “masculinity” you have to ask yourself, who are they doing it for? The women don’t seemed to be impressed by it, so, they’re doing it for other men. But, does that serve them positivley? NO, what should be their closest relationships end up being weak and surface level.
The Disney Channel original movie Eddie’s Million Dollar Cookoff showcases these points perfectly. Eddie’s Million Dollar Cookoff follows Eddie Ogden, star player of his baseball team. When Eddie discovers his new passion for cooking he is met with nothing but disdain from his friends and his dad (who is also his baseball coach). Eddie enters and gets into the Million Dollar Cookoff. When he learns that the Cookoff and the biggest game of the season are happening at the same time, he must make a big decision, baseball or cooking?
We actually learned how capitalism, healthcare and eugenics are connected from a young age. Robots (2005) follows Rodney on his journey in Robot City as he dreams of becoming an inventor. That gets spoiled when he finds out Bigweld's company was taken over and spare parts are no longer available for robots, upgrades only. profits > people. Rodney fights to do what's right to save the day. So many takeaways on how these systems are upheld by both policy and language.
Can it be possible to have a healthy relationship to the entertainment world? How does dehumanization tie into everything? Part 2 of Deconstructing Patriarchy as a Fangirl.
I chat about accountability, values, parasocial relationships, dehumanization (etc). and how we can connect all these elements to patriarchy. There are so many insidious ways patriarchy can creep into our life and it's important to look into what that looks like as a fangirl, but also just as an everyday person.
Deconstructing is important work. The reality is, we can connect these elements to any part of our life. It's our job to investigate how that shows up, and what we can do about it.
At the end of the day, what does it really look like to live in the values you believe in? And what are the ways we've been socialized that keep us from doing so?
A rant on how we all need to be deconstructing patriarchy and ESPECIALLY if you are a fangirl. The patriarchy has taught women to be dismissive and underestimate things, how does this seep into the way fans act? Why are people defending celebrity men? Sharing some of my insights on how I've noticed this in my experience as a fangirl and how that's changed for me over the years.
High School Musical 2 was an INSANE watch. We're all in this together....and that's what y'all HAVE to remember! This might be the best of the three movies that tie in why it's important to deconstruct white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism. Sharpay may be offering Troy Bolton incredible opportunities, but is it worth it? How do we pursue what we want AND stay within our values? How is privilege used to uplift OR harm others?
Under no circumstances should you be sticking to the status quo. And don't you ever....EVER be afraid to shoot the outside J, getcha head in the game. Let's look at how the Status Quo is used to uphold patriarchy and white supremacy in High School Musical.
