Before watching the video I realized ways in which I am not privileged, but also the ways that I am more privileged in as a cisgendered, able-bodied, main language being English, lighter skin toned hispanic woman who was born in the United States. I have experienced more privilege than those who are disabled, those who have darker skin, those who are transgender, etc. I have access to clean water and food while those in Yemen/ third world countries barely have a roof over their head. I am privileged with a supportive family, a mother who financially supports me and makes sure I have everything that I need and would never force me out into the streets. I am privileged with not being discriminated against/killed because of my skin color or gender identity. For the ways in which I am not privileged as a lower class queer hispanic woman, I fear walking out of my apartment because of men, being lower class I don’t have the privilege the upper class/ 1% have, I lack the privilege of not fearing judgement/verbal abuse/etc if I’m with someone who isn’t of the opposite sex, as a woman of color I am constantly underestimated, judged and oppressed by white men and a system that was created for only white cis heterosexual men to thrive in, etc. In the reading Oppression Marilyn Frye, she compared being a women and the oppression that comes with it to being a bird in a cage “A woman can become caught in a bind where, no matter what she chooses to think, say, or do, a bar puts difficulties in her path. These barriers are often difficult to recognize, because it is not easy to perceive them as parts of a configuration and because of the attempts made to hide their more pernicious aspects.” (Page 10, Part one: Oppression, Marilyn Frye) She then goes on to say that the configuration also restricts men but the whole system was designed (by men) to benefit men. Another thing she says that stuck out to me is she describes the experience of those who are oppressed as “the living of one’s life is confined and shaped by forces and barriers which are not accidental or occasional and hence avoidable, but are systematically related to each other in such a way as to catch one between and among them and restrict or penalize motion in any direction.” (Page 12, Part one: Oppression, Marilyn Frye).
