What?! Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, Ella Fitgerald, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, etc. have ALL been continuously praised for their talents.

I think the point being made is that the capitalist system is inherently designed to keep people down and to do damage to them. By attaching this sort-of “empowerment” lens on what amount to personal minutiae we’re doing a huge disservice to the larger issues of actual equality and parity.

Don’t sell other women products that don’t work, with the promise that it will get rid of their ugly human-shaped bodies so that you can profit from their insecurities?
