In class this week my students and I are talking about the triple threat of production, consumption, and reproduction that characterizes modern capitalism. I use the cultural imperative that women have and raise babies (reproduction) and be beautiful and sexy while doing it (consumption), all of which is paid for by someone who is busy earning money at a job (production). Below are some of the images I use.<\/p>\n

Be beautiful while pregnant (images from A Pea in the Pod<\/a> and covergirls Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera):<\/p>\n

\nRunning in high heels while in the third trimester? Why, of course!\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get your body back as soon as possible (as demonstrated by Gwen Stefani and Tori Spelling):<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Resort to suspicious drugs if you need to:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or get a Mommy Makeover<\/a>. Extensive cosmetic surgery, that is:<\/p>\n
