"One way to enhance the exploitability of male bodies is to instill in them the desire to be men. The trick is to make feelings of self-worth contingent on the ability to display the qualities culturally defined as signs of being a real man."
Schwalbe's contention that economic freedom and prosperity are intrinsically connected to gender is completely in-line with the CWLU's. The lack of economic agency can be directly tied to suicide, men working themselves to death, smoking, and any other self-destructive act done for masculine status. The feelings of inadequacy are a powerful tool used by advertsing and capatalism as a motivator to spend more money and work harder and these drives have to effect our gender conceptions female and male.
