'Feminismo es revolución. No marketing' seen in valencia. As with #pride too often feminism is used to sell products while the companies behind them have their clothing or items made in countries where #lgbtq people are not safe or can life freely and where there are no to little laws and policies to enhance and empower women and girls. As commercials and therefore the marketing of products are visual culture and can have the power to slowly change perspectives about issues regarding and relating to women. However with the increase of the concept of feminism as a marketingtool it is sometimes harder to see the line between feminism and marketing. But ofcourse there are also some companies who use their feminism to bring awareness, make policital statements and use their power and voice for the better, like @nike and @lego. #visualculture #feminism #valencia #nike #lego #anthropology #gender #sexuality #feministanthropology
