“…Familial responsibility was also rendered critical to young white males' socioeconomic empowerment and integrity as Christians” (59). In her foundational essay, “Heteropatriarchy and the Three Pillars of White Supremacy,” Andrea Smith argues that, “the capitalist system ultimately commodifies all workers—one's own person becomes a commodity that one must sell in the labor market while the profits of one's work are taken by someone else” (Smith , 69). Capitalism is insidiously brilliant because it elicits labor without calling attention to it during the process of consumption.…”

“…Furthering this image of white males as warriors for Jesus, Driscoll also built his church on the bed rock of orientalism, which (according to Smith), “marks certain peoples or nations as inferior and as posing a constant threat to the well‐being of empire,” and which is very much connected to how we imagine and practice religions of the “other.” For the last twenty to thirty years, the peoples that most threaten American imperialism are Muslims, and the way to combat this is through Jesus (Smith , 68).

Heteropatriarchy is defined by Smith (2006) as a social hierarchy that heterosexual marriage is the only viable and acceptable path to build a family as an institution. As a result, heteropatriarchy deems other types of marriage as less, creating a hierarchy within the social realities.…”

“…Feminism appeals to me because it is intersectional (hooks, 1984), acknowledging the experience of people of various identities and backgrounds (Smith, 2006). However, it focuses on the system, rather than attempts to attack the individual (hooks, 2004).…”
