Colonial perspective of gender:
Colonialism of gender has altered the indigenous sense of self, identity and to the larger extent their cosmology and gender relationships. With the colonization of indigenous groups, it allowed European to implement their idea of gender and sex. This covered up the preexisting conception of sex and gender in the indigenous group during the pre-colonialism times. The idea of gender itself was believed to be introduced by Western colonizers as a way to distinct two dualistic social categories which are men and women. The colonizers had introduced the idea of gender itself into Indigenous groups as this was originally a colonial concept which was made to organize production, territory and behavior. The desire for the colonizer to put forth the idea of gender onto an Indigenous group was to have control over their labor, authority, influence their subjectivity and ideas of sexuality.
Cases to back up how the dual concept of Gender is a purely European origin: Two spirit concept in native America where in some tribes there were up to five different genders, The acceptance and even court positions for Hijras or the third gender in the pre-British Raj sub-continent.


Capitalistic perspective of gender:
Lets start off with some views of Fredrick Engels. Engels wrote widely about the gender gap in capitalistic economies in his book, The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, directing attention towards how in capitalistic economies men monopolize paid labour and use this as a tool to control women-especially in nuclear families. Also pointed out that for the property owning class where the class system’s continuous survival across generations depends solely on the inheritance of property rights, men have ensured that fidelity and chastity in women is valued so that the power of the ruling class stays in the family. This is another control/bind on women and women oppression serves the function of class oppression regeneration over the years. So according to him (and many Marxist feminists) Women oppression is a direct result of capitalism and ownership of property rights.

Later on this concept developed further. During WWII women had to join workforce as men went to war. When war was over women were asked to give up the jobs but they revolted. The capitalists wanted to continue making profits and they could pay women a fraction of the wages they would have to pay men, hence women officially entered the workforce in hordes despite being paid less and doing the same job. It was just another way to exploit workers in the capitalistic economies.

Another side of the capitalistic perspective of gender is gender specific branding. Fashion industries can sell e.g "women jeans" for twice the amount they would sell the same product if they branded it so anyone could buy it. The color distinction in genders of pink and blue is also a capitalistic construct to sell more goods to specific groups of people.
