Material feminism means discussing gender as merely an expectation put in place by society, our culture, technology, and everything that surrounds and affects us on a daily basis. It focuses on the things that force us into boxes and make people believe that women are less than men and should take up certain roles or “traditionally feminine” careers and hobbies. The goal of material feminism is to break down the preexisting idea of social roles and become equal and free to represent gender as we please.

I agree with you. Society constantly labels and placed people into boxes and that morphs the way we live our daily lives. Also, not a comment on your blog post but on the image that you used , I believe people understand that capitalism has always relied on domestic labor. And those laborers are responsible for how easy other live their lives and they should be treated with more respect along with given more credit within society.
