12. Nancy Fraser refers in this context to an "unthematized gender subtext." While Habermas is charged with ignoring the modern linkage between the worker/breadwinner and masculinity, she acknowledges that its corollary of the feminine consumer, which "phantasmatics of desire" is especially promulgated by advertising, is becoming increasingly less gender specific.

Nietzsche, in Genealogy of Morality, writes similarly that the whole history of a "thing, "an organ, a tradition can… be a continuous chain of signs, continually revealing new interpretations and adaptations, the causes of which need not be connected even amongst themselves, but rather sometimes just follow and replace one another at random. The "development" of a thing, a tradition, an organ is therefore certainly not its progressus towards a goal… - instead it is a succession of more or less profound, more or less mutually independent processes of subjugation exacted on a thing, added to this the resistances encountered every time…. The form is fluid, the "meaning" [Sinn] even more so. (55)
