Lucy Kirkwood'un NSFW Adlı Oyununda Sınıf Ayrımı ve Kadın Bedeninin Metalaştırılması

Throughout history, some problems have never been solved, and gender discrimination is one of them. While this problem is extremely serious and does not allow women to breathe in some parts of the world, it is also a reality that gender discrimination still continues in developed countries. It cannot be denied that European women had to struggle for equal payment and circumstances even in the 1980s. The cooperation between the capitalist world order and the patriarchal system results in many troubles in women’s social and economic life. Social class primarily creates a big gap with regard to the quality of women’s lives and it results in inequality. In that regard, women in the lower class not only have to endure hard living and working conditions but they also get degenerated and betray their sisters. They are also abused in various ways and the objectification of their bodies is one of the most common forms of abuse they are exposed to. In NSFW, written by Lucy Kirkwood in 2012, these problems and more are brought to attention and dealt with. This study aims to explore class distinction and the objectification of women’s body in different ways from the abuse of women’s bodies to the established and imposed standards for bodily perfection under the influence of the class system in the capitalist economic order.
