Capitalism comes home: a crime of domination: denial of need and disconnection from other human beings

(S07 E19) A crime of domination, denial of need and disconnection from other people

In this episode, Dr. Fragrance our capitalist system alongside sexual violence. Capitalist exploitation, like rape, requires a lack of connection and empathy with the workers one exploits. Capitalism encourages domination and disconnection from workers’ human needs and desires. The rapist does the same. Rapists refuse to see their victim as a fellow human being, but only as an object to be exploited and dominated. While the majority of rape victims are women, 10 percent are men, another remnant of patriarchy.
