Oppression

Our society is like a system that limits the way we act, think, and learn. And one most important factors that shape different personal experience is our social location. Sometimes I feel like it is not fair for some people receive different opportunities based on their sex, gender, or sexual orientations.

The article You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down by Alice Walker that I read for class was very interesting to me and it gives me a new perspective looking at oppression.

True, black people were slaves in the US history, but I never looked at how black women felt about their relationship to sex. Sex is one of the 'key' element of marriage and relationship and I cant imagined that black women have to experience this kind of issue every day. They were labelled by many others as sex slaves and sex machine. How could one easily adjust with these terms? 

This is a sad article to read.
