"I hope to explore the underlying conception of gender that Natalie deploys and develops in her Contrapoints videos, in order to provide a materialist critique of this theory of gender. First, I will look to several of Natalie’s videos in order to try to explicitly outline her conception of gender. Second, I will offer a materialist criticism of this conception that highlights Natalie’s silence on the economic and political function of gender in a patriarchal and capitalist society. In doing so, I will try to explain why this misconception of gender results in the problems and conceptual errors that plague The Aesthetic."
I got confused near the end. Like I get the parts about the problems with not having a unified theory and deploying contradicting versions of gender when it's convenient, but I was just kind of waiting for it to address the elephant in the room near the end regarding settler colonialism, class, and race which is well, outside the bougie areas of wealthy western countries most people reject the entire field of study. Like how do you fix this without just blowing the entire thing up and maybe using something like the mass line to make new theory with a material base that has motivations more in line with broader society?
