However, Loyola University Chicago marketing professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luc.edu\/quinlan\/faculty\/jennadrenten.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jenna Drenten<\/a> In <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/pantry-porn-on-tiktok-and-instagram-makes-obsessively-organized-kitchens-a-new-status-symbol-197517\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Conversation<\/a> Criticizing the trend she coined &#8220;Trend&#8221; &#8220;pantry porn,&#8221; For glamorizing and stylizing your home organization. Drenten stated that this trend was similar to the desire to be nice, which was rooted within racism and sexism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s consumer culture, \u2018a place for everything and everything in its place&#8217; isn&#8217;t just a mantra; it&#8217;s big business. Nowhere is this more evident than the kitchen pantry,&#8221; Drenten wrote. &#8220;As someone who studies digital consumer culture, I&#8217;ve noticed an uptick in glamorized, stylized and fully stocked pantries on TikTok and Instagram, giving rise to a content genre I dub \u2018pantry porn.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drenten wrote that pantries were a status symbol during the 1800s. In the 20th Century, they became more popular in middle-class homes, and then they became ubiquitous in modern times. The pantry is now a status symbol in modern celebrity culture. Social media influencers, however, have helped to bring it back down to the common people.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, &#8220;pantry porn&#8221; This stems from the early days of social media. &#8220;food porn,&#8221; Pictures of food preparation and consumption are highly glamourized.<\/p>\n<p>Drenten takes the pantry beyond its status symbol status. &#8220;Storing spices in coordinated glass jars and color coordinating dozens of sprinkles containers may seem trivial,&#8221; She spoke. &#8220;But tidiness is tangled up with status, and messiness is loaded with assumptions about personal responsibility and respectability. Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of \u2018niceness&#8217;: nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures,&#8221; She ended her remarks. &#8220;In my research, influencers who produce pantry porn are predominantly white women who demonstrate what it looks like to maintain a \u2018nice&#8217; home by creating a new status symbol: the perfectly organized, fully stocked pantry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Drenten said that the trend reinforced sexist tropes regarding the domestic housewife, which Drenten also stated was a feminine ideal. &#8220;Magazines like Good Housekeeping were once the brokers of idealized domestic work,&#8221; She wrote. &#8220;Now online pantry porn sets the aspirational standard for becoming an ideal mom, ideal wife and ideal woman. This grew out of a shift toward an intensive mothering ideology that equates being a good mom with time-intensive, labor-intensive, financially expensive care work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sure, all of those baskets and bins serve a functional purpose in the home: seeing what you need, when you need it,&#8221; She added. &#8220;But the social pressure to curate a perfect pantry might make some women work overtime. Pantry porn, as a status symbol, relies on the promise of making daily domestic work easier. But if women are largely responsible for the work required to maintain the perfectly organized pantry, it&#8217;s critical to ask: easier for whom?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/your-organized-pantry-is-rooted-in-racism-and-sexism-says-college-professor\">Professor at College says that your Organized Pantry is Rooted in Racism and Sexism.<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s almost spring cleaning time, but according to one college professor, cleaning your pantry is racist and sexist.
