08 Feb The Descending Line in Popular Culture
The conventional world has been taught to see these processes and worldviews as strange, less sophisticated, and less evolved. Until recently, spirituality itself was suspect. The film industry, although it has made slight progress, still promotes widely the stories of white men and their adventures as the main source of entertainment. Women’s rights and sovereignty over our bodies has taken a major setback. Women’s interests and emphasis on love and relationships are seen as second-rate interests. The Romance/Erotica genre, primarily read by women, continues to be the bestselling category of books, generating $1.44 billion annually, but is not taken as seriously as lesser-selling genres ready by men such as detective novels or Tom Clancy-type thrillers (Turner-Francis, 2017).
