I agree with Sade Pickering’s post. It shows that women and society stand up for themselves more. The article “Patriarchy, the System” focuses on how men have so much power and believe all of their success is self-made. Society expects women to be perfect having the perfect body and should have no imperfections, no stretch marks, a perfect nose, and the ideal body. We as Females push ourselves to look like that to be accepted. Society expects us to be beautiful, if we are anything less than beautiful it is unacceptable. To society, it’s a woman’s job to be pretty and a man’s job to be smart. Society expects us to be beautiful. Women have to work twice as hard as a man to show that they are smart and that they are more than property.

In “There Is No Hierarchy of Oppressions” focuses on how black women get treated worse than everyone, mostly based on their color and what they identify as. Audre Lorde once quoted “it is the differences that divide us. We cannot recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” Based on gender and as a color people treat you differently and believe that all types of people of color are the same. Instead of considering people’s feelings, make them fear the world more and make them see death and abuse as the only option when it comes to skin color. American ways teach their beliefs of freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. All of these are part of our first right according to the 10th Amendment, however, when it comes to other people, such as people of color, Americans fail to respect these rights and go against their constitutional rights.  society always expects the worst for women especially if they are black, black women in the United States who work full time, year-round are typically paid just 63 cents for every dollar paid to white. Even in movies, they downplay black characters, especially black women characters.  The Princess and the Frog is one of the first black Disney animations, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of that movie is a frog because Tiana character was poor and a frog 90% of the movie, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa was born into royalty and stayed human throughout the movie. People portray black people as poor and think of them as animals and violent. Some other black movies are played by light skin instead of a black actor/actress because they look more fitted and beautiful, such as the movie The Hate U Give, the character is supposed to be black, however, it didn’t stand the profile of beauty.
