I really like the fact that I had taken this class because I learned so much about gender, power and an everyday life. Especially when reading Johnson’s plus 5 systems and fry’s Oppression article, because it made me realize that every one is oppressed in many different ways and that the plus 5 system is a tragic to everyone. After reading these two articles, I have a good understanding of how oppression and plus 5 system really works in our society. The plus 5 system is the truth of an American life and how judgment is made upon a person. Is like you get credit to be male in the first place, then you get a second credit being a white male, then you get the third credit for being heterosexual and then a forth credit being a Christian, and lastly you get a fifth credit being a. people who are not as what Johnson had describe in his plus 5 system are automatically consider lower then the man I had just described. The lower mans are also being oppressed by this system Johnson had talked about. That’s why every time when we see men, we as women do not know that they too are oppressed and not just we, women that are the only one that are oppress. Like Fry had mention in her article that, women have their own limits and guys have their own limits. I always thought to myself before I had taken Women Study class that women are much lower than men; because I grew up in a culture that men are always on the top list and women are consider just house wives. I will not forget these two article because is an understanding and the truth about life in America. I will look at gender in an everyday life as this oppression and as a plus 5 system that surround us in America.
