According to the article that tells us about impacts of Covid -19, more women than men have lost job, because usually women worked in restaurant, travel sectors, hotel and etc. There is speaking about wage of women, men and different races. According to the reading, women always have a low salary. I can say that almost every country is same situation. For example, I live in Georgia and men are leader and take a high positions in almost every realm. Men are dominants but sometimes women are more apposite for a high positions than men, because women have better skills.

There is speaking about nuclear family. Definition of nuclear family is an elementary family where are two parents and usually two or three children. “U.S. Census findings tell us that a majority of people, whatever their sexual and gender identities, do not live in traditional nuclear families.” According to the reading marriage is a n important factor for part of our society. “Marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship, and it should not be legally and economically privileged above all others. While we honor those for whom marriage is the most meaningful personal – for some, also a deeply spiritual – choice, we believe that many other kinds of kinship relationship, households, and families must also be accorded recognition.” Although, there are some problems for them who wants to marriage. It is not easy for LGBT people. There are some economic and other policy problems.
I think that everyone must has chance to make a family. I can not see problem if couple do not want to marriage. Even thought I am sure that nuclear family where parents feel love each other has a perfect influence on new generation. This kind of household is more solid. I think that in my case, I will marriage.

According to the video, there are a lot of problematic issues of trans gender people. Generally, everyone is equal before God, but unfortunately society can not recognize this fact. There we can see that trans gender people are under the press. Society is not ready for communication and cohabitation with trans people. In the video, I have seen one important problem that was toilet. I can say that it is a very important problem because people are confused about trans. They have not enough knowledge; because of this they do not know how treat them. At this time, trans people are oppressed. They are victim of bulling and violence. They are human, citizens and persons whom have rights but no one try to protect they. For example: If he/she wants to go in toile, he/she will have a problem. People can not get they. There was a one place where have solved toilet problem. They created “All-Gender bathroom”. Everyone can use this kind of bathroom. They try to training and educating society. I think that the best way to solve this problem is educating people. I live in Georgia and number of trans are killed. I am interested about what is happening in other countries where old traditions have a huge role in the community.
In the video I have seen other problems. There was a guy who was dropped out from the school, because of his orientation. I have seen women who have a problems in job.
Time is gone, but problem is still caustic. Trans gender people are still rejected.

The first time I will explain what does Frey mean in the word ,,oppression” . The root of oppression is press. The author means when women is under the press. For example, when women is punished by society especially by men. When women is under the critic, and is defame, deceived, ashamed by men. In this case, If woman looks nicely and differently, she will be victim of society. People will start gossip. They will say that she is ,,bitch” or ,,man-hater” and etc. Women are vulnerable by terrible society.
There is too hard to see oppression because no one study elements of oppressive structure; People do not know what is oppressive; thus, they can not recognize that they are in cage and they need space. There are some brave people who took a risk and try to protect own-self but there are a lot of vulnerable women who think that men are dominant and they can not realize situation.

There is some reading. I will try to speak about everything. ,,Redstockings Manifesto” express women position in society. Women fighting to get respect from men. They try to take a equal position in the community. They are oppressed class. Women are denied. They are vulnerable. Men are dominated; they control political, economical and political structures. Women do not want to change own-self. They just want to change dependence of men. Women demand regards. They think that they have ability and potential. Women are capable, but men do not think so. Women have every kind of able to be in politic.
There was speaking about housework. According to the article, ,, The politics of housework”, women are oppressed. Their main function is to clean and work at home. They do not have other function. They are not success and do not have own job. They are not happy. There are some rules in our society for girls. For example if you are a girl, you must clean home, play with dulls. In this case if your sex is female you must be sophisticate and pleasant. In the reading is speaking that revolution is coming.
In the article, ,, I want a wife” is speaking about thoughts of men. Their dependence toward women. There is important points. Inasmuch as I guess, the man needs the ,,nurse” or ,,robot” woman. I think that just robot can do his demands. He needs person who does not have own wishes and requests. The woman must work, take care of his children. She must make appointment with doctor and dentist. She must wash children’s clothes. The women must take care of his physical needs and keep house clean. I believe that the man does not have a healthy mind, otherwise she will not think so. The women must not be bother and she must do every sexual demands of the man. I think that there is a terrible situation. The man needs woman in order to make comfort.
I feel that through 1960-1970s women had a serious problems in society. They are vulnerable. They need help, because they are oppressed by men.

There I have got a lot of necessary and interesting information. There are articles that tell us about problems of women in our society. I am from Georgia and there is a caustic issue of women place in our society. Step by step, minds of part of the new generation become more progressive but there are still problems about rights of women.
I have read the article ,,I want a wife” and I have remind our traditions of marriage. There are different sides in my country and every sides of Georgia have own traditions. I will tell about one traditions that is from SVANETI (mountain side of Georgia). There are radically reduced rights of women. Children sometimes engaged form babyhood and sometimes 12-13 years old. Women must be virgin. After the first night, boy’s mother takes a sheet that is smudged with a blood and she hangs it on the balcony. They are proud that their bride is a virgin. In this case, If bridge is not virgin, boy will not marriage with she. That kind of girl will be shamed in the society. There women has some obligations in family: women must have more and more baby. Of course, she must have a boy who will be the main man in family. In this case, if the woman does not have a boy, she is oppressed by members of family. Women must take care of children and husbands. They must wash legs of their husbands, clean house and everything; also cook dishes and women must do everything at home. Years ago, women and man did not eat together. The man is a head in family. They have not been allowed to set together on the table. The men could do everything; they used to think that men was right if he beats or humiliations his wife. Unfortunately, the woman from childhood thinks that the man is everything.
The second example from our society is that women try to become leaders last 15 years. They start driving cars, they try to get education and find a job. Someone reached a high positions in different fields and the huge number of women are in migration and they earn money. They send it in our country and it is a big helping process for our economic system of country. Almost, there is a still patriarchal society. A lot of women are killed by husband who is just jealous. The woman must be virgin while she get marriage and etc.
Step by step, there is changing mind of people; we hope that one day everything will change.
I learn that women and men have equal rights. We must fight for our rights. I learn it from my daily life. Every day I see how is pressing the women by the men. I do not like it. My expectation is that after 15 years everything will change. There are opening borders. People travel in abroad and the young generation goes to abroad in order to get education, because of this I am sure that everything will change. Also, social media causes some changes.
There is a serious problem about oppressing the woman; I think that a new generation must to do everything to change our society.

According to the film, women had a lot of problems in the society. They are unprotected, weak, they are under the press and duress. There are some problems but I will take one and I will try to speak about it. Women are oppressed by men. Men used to violence on the women. For example, the woman who was walking, become victim of two men. They attacked to the women. The women get trauma not only morality but also psychology. She was victim. I can say that she was lucky because there were other woman with bicycles that was a specific movement for women. They used to try helped women but we can imagine how many woman was alone in the same situation. I can say that this kind of problem is actual today too.
The next issue what I have seen is gender. The women is doing everything, she clean home, work, rise up babies, take care on husband and etc. There is a terrible situation. Woman does not have a rights. They are not equal of men. Unfortunately, women think that it is norm. They do not have any kind of protest or they are just downtrodden by men. The problem comes from childhood and rising methods. Problem is in people. Women and men are equal in god’s eyes but people do not think so. They even can not find same kind of job. For instance, women can not work in building company. Fortunately, everyone does not think similarly. There are a group people who try to protest, protect and wake up people and women. Rome was not built in a day. There is still same problem but we have progress. Extremely, Asian countries have a terrible problem of this issue, because religion have a huge role.
In the reading, ,,When you leave, take your picture with you” I got some information about black people. They have problems. ,, We are not as happy as we look on”. Black people’s life style and white sisters life is different. They spend a good time with white radical sisters but after all of this time they become sad and oppressed. They like relationship with white sisters; they did not cast ashore black friends and because of this they estimate this fact.

I want to speak about “feminism”, “sexism” and “gender and woman studies”.
I think that feminism is movement where are women and men who try to protect rights of women. In our society, women and men do not have equal terms. Women are under the press and stress by our society. Women have a lot of restriction from childhood. If you are a woman, you must rise a child, serve your husband, stay at home and you must note be ambitious. Feminists try to wake up people and they say to us that the above mentioned obligations are not correct. Women is a person, she is a daughter of the god and everyone is equal in god’s eyes. If your husband and members of family hurt to you and If you are humble by them you must protect your-self. According to the reading, ,,…Feminism is a movement to end the sexism”. They do not mean that men are enemy. They just mean that women and men are equal they must share household chores and parenting and they must have works where is a same terms for both sex. In the reading, we tread that church has a huge influence on the women. According to the ,, Christian” culture, woman must serve the men and it is not norm. Women need to wake up.
I believe that sexism is an ideology that main idea is that different sex people do not have a equal rights. For example: ,, you are a woman, what do you know’, ,, she is a woman and she can not rive a car” and etc.
A lot of people do not understanding sexism and they think that it is not a problem. Some of them think that women juts seeking to be a equal to men. Woman are fighting for them rights. White women-socialism, black woman – civil rights, black liberation and native American Indian women – indigenous rights. Men wants to lead and they want women to follow. Unfortunately, there are females who are sexist as well.
Lastly, I will speak about Gender and Women studies. I think that study about gender and women is a subject where students get more information about this problems in our society. It is a very important thing because that it will have a huge mite in order to have a better generation.
According the reading, women’s studies started 40 years ago. There is speaking about women’s and gender’s issue and gap in our society and college.
