Part of the consumer society is based on a patriarchal history. there is a connection between consumerism and traditional male exercise of power. There is a connection between domestic violence as an exercise of male (patriarchal) power and consumerism as an exercise of that same model of power. The consumer society is competitive, aggressive and hierarchical (rooted in status and dominance). Women bring another experience of work and its connection with life and social relationships. Not all women, not always but, there is another model implicit (and often explicit) in women's experience.
