First of all, I must admit that it is challenging for me to comprehend the history of feminism and its interconnection in a semester, but I’m grateful to have been exposed to fresh vocabulary and perspectives on the world. Having said that, if the assets and income disparity are not properly addressed while considering the distinctive stance of Black women, who are typically underrepresented in the labor force, then black women and women, in general, will not be able to achieve many successes.  Nevertheless, there are a variety of reasons why someone might be marginalized. For example, the fact that I am a woman and an African placed me in a minority, which may cause marginalization due to unequal power. Also, I remembered when I was serving as R.A. a few years ago, I learned that one of my colleagues with fair skin received a higher pay rate despite having less qualifications than I did.

“Paris is Burning” highlighted the problems with a system that is unfair and divides people despite its claims to be inclusive. This is because some of us refused to let go of the prejudice and bias that causes discrimination. In order to create a culture of inclusivity and unity, I thought it was important to address white privilege, which refers to the “undeserved advantages, safeguards, and benefits that people of a certain race enjoy”. Everyone should feel safe, secure, and protected because human rights apply to everyone, regardless of gender, economic class, or race.

Race, gender and capitalism   

It’s so unfortunate that women continue to experience social exclusion and legal discrimination in a capitalist society where advancements in women’s rights have not kept pace with the growth of capitalism. Since women are frequently exploited at home and at work, the system is unfair and prioritizes the subjugation of women over the development of each person’s potential.
