Reading flection 3

After reading the two articles our professor provided for us I realized the same difference between the two articles. I feel like we humans have it too good sometimes or should I say some of us do. Some of us have it all and we are too comfortable to realize our blessings. Some of us don’t realize that having a roof over our heads and food to eat every day is an automatic blessing. Oppression, on the other hand, is much easier noticed than a privilege, and Fyre looks at it as “double-blind” situations. In this generation, I feel like we are forced to smile even through our tough days. Through rains and storms if we are not smiling we will be called ungrateful or miserable because I’ve personally experienced this myself. I believe that not everyone has sunny days and there are different ways of showing it. Some might shut down and not want to be bothered and others might cry and show their misery. Frye shows us some ways that real oppression against frustrations and short-term suffering, to be able to realize these abstractions in an obvious way. This has a big similarity to the second reading where the author McIntosh speaks about her privileges. She speaks about it in a realistic and confident way. That’s the tone she gave off in the article. She mentions something similar to Frye’s topic. That man will never be able to admit to the truth and how they are over-privileged, they won’t admit it even when they see women go through a lot. McIntosh’s way of speaking about her privileges is a good way to give clarity about race and gender. Directly to White people, they realize their privileges and appreciate the things they have no matter what it is.
