Patrick Campbell (I did the blog for today on February 8th)
Many feminist scholars thus far have discussed the term oppression in many ways. Marilyn Frye analyses this term in a truly intricate fashion. This term, as Frye describes is a universal experience amongst all races, shapes, sizes etc. Explaining how men naturally want to impose their supremacy on women and control them in a way. This universal oppression towards women, occur in numerous fashions, including sexual references, social encounters, etc. She explains how most of this abuse is morally transported through nasty comments towards women. After reading her piece I agree that in some cases “oppression can be hard to see and recognize.”
I was able to relate strongly to Allan G. Johnson’s piece “Patriarchy, the System: An It, Not a He, a Them, or an Us.” Mainly because my life structure thus far has been completely patriarchy. Although some cases involving serious injury to a women and basing the cause of that occurrence to a patriarchal system is a bit far-fetched. Furthermore, I say this because there are many reasons that play a part in a human being committing murder, rape, assault, etc He passes a more clearer explanation of Patriarchy when he explains how it occurs “in people’s lives” and more like a social setting episode.
