There has been many different times When some people wanted others to be obedient, they played the nature card throughout history. Life is difficult for poor people, and this is natural. They accept it as it is. This categorization and privilege enjoyed by the upper castes was also presented as something god-given and natural to the individuals at the bottom of the caste system. At one time, some people believed that people with blue eyes and blond hair were a superior race, destined to control the world. Gender disparity operates in a similar manner. For millennia, men in patriarchal communities and systems have claimed that women are inferior to them. By definition to be exact. As Audre Lorde’s experience with oppression described in “There Is No Hierarchy of Oppressions”. She faces oppression because she is Black, a woman, and lesbian. Rather than only being judged by her outyerself (skin color, hair), she began feeling as though who she was as a person may have been questionable due to societies interpretation.
The fact behind this is that some individuals simply want to maintain their power, so they create these convenient dichotomies. It has nothing to do with nature. All of this is made up, socially manufactured, easily practiced, and maintained. Every day, we are bombarded with these structures. When really its up to us to change these structures so that quality can me forefront.
