Growing up I was always aware of the privilege that others had and I didn’t and vice versa, I couldn’t put a name on it because I didn’t know what it meant but I knew that when my mom would say that I wasn’t allowed to date until a certain age or go out at a certain time but my cousins (male) were allowed to do and say whatever they wanted and go out whenever that it was because I was a girl. Or in school they made jokes about each other and their race/ physical appearance and would use the harmful stigmas surrounding that as “jokes” or too insult them. For example they would say that women are emotional or that we can’t do things that men can, for latinos/hispanics (people who were Mexican in particular) it would be that they would call ICE to send us back to our country or to speak english, for black people they would make jokes about their skin color, etc. And the articles further proves and educates on the privilege and oppression that comes with being a certain skin color/gender/sexual orientation/etc. For example, Marilyn Frye comparing being a woman to being a bird locked in a cage and the oppression that comes with being born a woman or Mcintosh and addressing white privilege and their articles on oppression and privilege.
