The reading by Allan Johnson’s “Patriarchy the System” was very interesting and clear to understand . He stated that “patriarchy” means the system of socially constructed inequality between men and women as they are defined in the political, social, and economic contexts that affects every aspects of our lives. Its also define as a system rather than an individual personality. Women are generally excluded from participating in politics, most of the time we do not see a salary transparency, and the sexual assault situations that women have to go through because men see us with inferiority. Talking about the piece of Audre Lorde, “There Is No Hierarchy of Oppressions” Its hard to thing that being a person of color and being part of a lesbian community means that you have a big probability to be abused, since those communities are seen as irregular and inferior. I really like that the autor mentions that there cannot be hierarchy of oppression. Lorde, has this concept of concurring all the oppression and having a society where being a woman, lesbian, black or a mother does not result in oppression. Oppression I believe is a situation that we all most have to go through, if its not because of your color of skin, it maybe can be because you do not have a good status.
