In “Oppression”, Marylyn Frye argues how women are oppressed, all the limits that they have in society as that is growing every day. She makes a comparison with a cage so that we readers can see how women are imprisoned . That society wants a submissive woman and that she is always smiling when she shouldn’t be, because if you don’t feel good about yourself you can’t show something that you are not or that you don’t feel.  She visualizes how women put the burden on her since she was little that she should remain silent.  I think that oppression is seen faster than a privilege but for me both are situations created by the same society and ignorance. People when you are experiencing oppression or a moment of loneliness, often say that you should smile not show that weak side.  But for me personally I thought it was like that but it’s a lie, because it’s also good to have stormy days without seeing the sun because they are the ones that teach us to take advantage and fight for rainbow days.    

   In other ways, In Peggy article “White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack”.  She recounts how an unborn white person already has an advantage compared to someone with darker skin. As we know, racism and the privileged have existed for years.  For example, when a white person goes to the supermarket, none of the workers are aware of what the white man is going to buy, but if he is a black person, all the other shoppers are aware of whether they are going to steal something.  As for your color, you are classified as person grata or non grata. The text states “Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability ” (White Privilege Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack Peggy McIntosh). This evidence illustrates that with the power of white privilege certain groups of people rely on their skin color to help them in society.  This relates to certain events that have happened in our society where a person of color was wrongfully arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill which resulted in him dying. If it was a white person this event would be completely different because their skin tone gives them a level of protection that others don’t have. I disagree because the privilege is not always the white person knows that he is privileged or because he is doing the racism on other black people. Many of them are born into white families that do not teach their children about racism, about the correct way to treat others for having a darker color and that we are all human beings and have the same value. You are no more than me, just because you look different or come from a different family.
