Ever thought why concepts like "just be xyz bro" will never die out or become obsolete? I have. And i came to the conclusion why.
Its because we live in a sexual hegemony. For those who arent familiar with gramsci, he spoused a theory that goes something like the bourgeioeisie of a country determines all facets of social culture in favour of itself.
Which means that every piece of media, entertainment, politics, journalism, etc. that you've ever watched in your entire life has passed (first and foremost) by their judgement and was ok'd by them OR you've never even heard about it.
Yep. Like it never even existed. But that's not what im here to say. What i wanna say is another form of hegemony.
The hegemony of the sexual market place. See who dictates it never even thought about you in the first place.
Thats why catch phrases like "just be confident" "take a shower" "the most you can hear is no" are so ingrained into culture. They, like many other things, were meant for chad, not you.
They dont even consider you human. Who's they? Woman and chads, in this particular case.
When you think about it, most institutions in society (and therefore its cultural manifestations) were put in place so that the winners would thrive and the losers would either adapt or perish once and for all.
We live in a winner takes all scenario.
I wish i could have done a more in depth analysis of the situation, but i have low iq, sorry.
