What's capitalism got to do with it?

Make no mistake, Amanda is a top blogger and I enjoy her post immensely. She incisive and funny and goes for the jugular in her critiques of pop culture. However, I really don't understand what capitalism has to do with the lad-lit classic, High Fidelity. I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie, and it's about a guy and his hangups and old girlfriends. Not about a guy and his relationship with the socioeconomic arrangement of the world.

I don't know. I get uncomfortable when Amanda casually condemns "the capitalist system" while drawing on poorly-developed female characters as evidence. Yes, it's a crying shame that there are not more three dimensional female characters out there. However, this is a cultural problem, not so much a problem with an economic system. We may live in a patriarchal capitalist system. This does not mean that capitalism is an outgrowth of patriarchy.

Not that I think there are no problems with the way our economy is set up. But I do think that we need to keep problems in seperate spheres kind of...separate.
