Free At Last
This Picture Right here caught my eye because it shows a women breaking free from oppression (handcuffs). Shows how relief she is to be able to free her arms. Women felt as men had then in cuffs, Holding them back from more goals and equality. The Picture also signifies unity between both sexes.
This Picture was interesting and related to the article about women's oppression. It shows how women are jailed.
This article is interesting. Partly for me saying that is because I could agree that you don't need oppression to prove limitations and sufferings. By either way she states that women are oppressed as women, but men are not oppressed as men. Meaning as stated in the article women oppression is lead when women have restrictions. One of the restrictions that oppress women is that women have limitation which effect their freedom, them going out at night resulting in staying less hours at work. (Frye 85). Women suffer harms as a result of their restrictions; they lose personal freedom and have less economic freedom.
Women face limitations which,
on-balance, are harmful to them; they are inflicted by social constructions and
anticipations, and even within the decree
Overall i thought it was a good article because it pointed out the true aspects of womens oppression. Women who arnt knowledgeable of what they do and what holds them back need to realized it's the stereotypes which are oppressing you from true success.
Well done. I agree with your points about oppression doesn't need to be used to prove suffering, but also because it does point out that there are legitimate issues out there that women (and men) have to battle on a daily basis.

I hate the ignorance of society, especially men, when women are being oppressed. It is cowardly, but I agree that women need to realize they are oppressed and help.
