Oppression Site #2

This is another article about how women face oppression and as you can see it happense a lot. http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/3652833-gender-oppression
The women face oppression from the men in their lives. These men can be their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sometimes even the sons. I would like to say in the beginning to the men. “Yes, we are stronger but this strength is a gift from god. However, god gave this strength to men to protect women and not to abuse them.” Every woman should be shown respect and given their dignity. This means not only your wife, sister, mother, and daughter, but the respect must be to each woman you know and each woman you don't know.
Oppression comes in many forms in a woman's life. It may be in the form of a wife that is not allowed to have friends. Or when women are exploited and face oppression in the workplace by giving women the worst work, with no job security and low wages, the bosses create a super- cheap workforce, which they can hire and fire at will. Or it may be in the form of a husband, father, or boyfriend that does not allow the woman to have a cell phone, inter net chatting, or in the worst scenario it may be in the form of abuse from a man. This abuse may come in many forms of itself. A man may lose control of his emotions and hit the woman, which does nothing but hurt her physically. Or he may even choose to rape her to gain emotional control over her. Oppression comes in many forms, and none of them are good for the women that experience them. Yes, there are laws to protect women from such abuse. However, when a woman has been oppressed for so long, she may see herself with no value and that nobody would care that she was being hurt.
Oppression comes from a lack of trust and maybe even jealousy. This lack of trust and jealousy leads to fights and more oppression for the woman. Fights in front of children and in front of others. The woman loses always in this matter, because the man is stronger. When the fights are in front of the children this effects them and enforces these children to not respect the woman. When these fights occur in front of others, others will also see this woman at fault and give her no value in life.
