    During the antebellum time period in the south, many black slaves were subject to a tremendous amount of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by their owners. Almost every time a harsh and violent slave owner is talked about, it is assumed that it is a white man inflicting all of the violence and torture. Although that is true that white male slave owners did impost a lot of this violence, they were not alone. It has recently been shed to light that female slave owners were just as violent, if not more violent than their male counterparts. In Thavolia Glymph’s work Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household, she gives empirical evidence that white women in the South were more cruel than many historians had made them out to be.…

    Ta-Nehisi Coates’ experiences have resulted in a perception which lumps people into one group, discredits the work of others, and judges events from a subjective point of view. This is a flawed way of evaluating events that one comes across on a daily basis. It will lead to misunderstandings caused by the influence of one’s biases, and it may inflate and dramatize actions which had no ill-will behind them. It may lead to the oppressor to justify his actions stating that he is oppressed. It kills the individuality of a person, and makes assumptions regarding an individual based upon the actions committed by a few of the many people in the vast group which that individual may be associated with.…

    “Learning to Read and Write”, by renown Frederick Douglass, makes an effective argument against slavery by using pathos to appeal to the reader 's emotion. The document explained from his point of view, that he was treated “perfectly” fine as a house slave before slavery came into full effect. He also expounds on the fact, once slavery was fully effective, his mistress, Mrs.Hugh, changed for the worse toward him. In the text it states,“Unders it’s influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness.” Creating visuals using animals is the author’s way of demonstrating who his mistress was before slavery had been enforced and the person she had swiftly become after.…

    Dualism In Women

    Women are often placed in one of two discrete categories, that of a “good” or a "bad” woman. A good woman is one who takes on all of the characteristics previously described as expected of women. A bad woman, on the other hand, does not. If a woman is judged to be a “good” woman she is then honored and respected, but if a woman is judged to be a “bad” woman than she is subject to being “used, abused, and deceived” (Mirande 1979:474). This categorization of women as good or bad has been explained through the concept of a ’contradictory dualism,’ where a man needs to protect the ‘good’ women (his wife and daughters) from other ‘predatory males’ while at the same time he who is doing the protecting is one of these predatory males that women need…

    Princess-Squaw Oppression

    The constant oppression that all Indian princesses and squaws face is a major contributor to not only how I view the world, but also my particular influence in the binary. For instance, aboriginal women have no control over their public identity; therefore, limiting their potential and labeling them as sexual objects instead of distinct individuals (Anderson 82). This cruel reality for Native women reflects how our world sees all women – worthless and inferior compared to men. For this reason, I think it is exceptionally important to take control and support equal rights. Living in Canada we are lucky enough to have freedom of expression, thus we have the responsibility to take care of our fellow women in times of need.…

It continues to be a driving force shaping human history in countries globally. However, the forms that violence takes in specific locations are not identical. Victims of violence vary but a major percentage of them have a commonality.…

    Despite the change in time and the advances made in society, there has always been a social ladder, which creates a social divide between those with power, and those without. In the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel gives a modern context of the social divide, by explaining the relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Defined as the group at the top of the social ladder, the bourgeoisie is viewed as the oppressor who exploits and abuse the working class who compose of the bottom of the social ladder, the proletariats. Adding on to this is Vincent Parillo's “Causes of Prejudice”, where Parrillo discusses the relation of the oppressed and the oppressor through genocide, and how the oppressed are victims of discrimination…

    Oppression is by definition maltreatment, and in “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “Woman Hollering Creek” it is a very prominent subject. The authors’ emphasize on the unjustness the women endure by their husbands, although in quite inverse ways. In Woman Hollering Creek, Cleófilas is neglected and mistreated by her new husband Juan. He severely physically abuses her, however she wants to maintain her lifestyle for the sake of their child and because of the fear. “When the moment came, and he slapped her once, and then again, and again, until the lip split and bled an orchid of blood, she didn’t fight back” (Cisneros 460).…

    Black feminist thought can be thought of as an understanding behind the intersectionality of race and sex. The assumption that race and sex can be divorced and examined separately prevents many people from grasping the concept of black feminist thought. African-American women are a part of a minority race and minority sex, which they must live with on a daily basis. Therefore, examining race and sex separately is a distorted, biased, and inaccurate view on African-American women in society. As a member of the two of the lowest castes in American society, being a woman and being black, African-American women are often marginalized.…
