Kristjansson points out that ironically the fat woman's demand for fashionable clothing allows for the _____ that feminists have resisted for decades.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because both objectification and commodification are relevant in this context. Objectification refers to treating a person as an object or commodity, which is a concept feminists have historically resisted. Commodification involves turning something into a product that can be bought and sold. In the context of demanding fashionable clothing, the fat woman's actions can be seen as contributing to both the objectification (by emphasizing physical appearance in a way that aligns with societal standards) and commodification (by participating in consumer culture) of women's bodies, both of which are issues feminists have critiqued.
