What gender is the consumer?: the role of gender connotations in defining the political
Article Abstract:
Political-economic intellectual discourses on the subject of humans as consumers or producers have historically focused on gender. Theorists who portrayed the consumer as having a marginal political and passive role defined the consumer as female, while those who portrayed the consumer as having a central and active role deemed the consumer male. The consumer has remained primarily female, indicating that feminization is still linked to political marginalization.
