When reading “Oppression” and “White Privilege” These two have something indifferent when reading them. In the article Oppression by Marilyn Frye, she talks about women being put down along with people of color, LGBTQ, and Indigenous plus disabled people. When reading the article it was quite confusing about the point of being oppression when I did some research about it and it seems to acknowledge that oppression means unjust treatment. In Fyre’s article, she explains how people who aren’t either white or heterosexual are seemed to be oppressed and are put down a lot. This is wrong in every way, people should be treated with respect whether they’re Hispanic, gay, bisexual, African American, or non-binary. Men can be oppressed as well, an example of it is when men are expected to be the alpha or they should not show emotions.

It isn’t as much to talk about the article Oppression but there are a lot of thoughts coming to my mind when it comes to the article “White Privilege” by Peggy Mcintosh. In this article, Mcintosh talks about privilege being a white person and how it is difficult to have the privilege if you’re not a straight white male. This makes people uncomfortable and sometimes scary by the fewer privileges people of color can have. Sometimes they have to fight for their privilege and others have the advantage to get their privilege. Reading both articles helped me learn more about privilege and oppression, especially the youtube video, “What is Privilege.”
