Background: Systems of inequality with regard to gender, race, class, ability, sexuality, and so on, are founded on rules, customs, behaviors, and rewards. It is tempting to say that the individual is where all systems of inequality converge (e.g. disabled, black, poor, straight) because the purpose is to create individuals who are available to a hierarchy. But while each system describes inequality and procedures for distributing resources, human beings have the ability to act differently than expected and to make choices. Thus, no system has complete control over your life. Instructions: According to the authors of these readings, how should we talk about or address different oppressions? How would you describe your own relationship to at least one system of (in)equality described in this module? Do you feel that one particular system determines the quality of your daily life more than another? Explain and provide an example to support your discussion. What does it mean to participate in patriarchy? How does this positively or negatively impact you? Where might you experience (or participate in) misogyny in your daily life? The paper: In 2-3 pages summarize your experience, observations, and insights related to patriarchy, misogyny, hierarchy, oppression, and intersectionality. You should directly address some of the questions included in the instructions. If you cite related readings they should be what I have assigned you.
