Source which coincides with Ellison's novel-ending accusation, that everyone, regardless of color or gender, oppresses someone else. In this case, IM oppresses women, viewing them as sex objects, rather than as living, breathing, human beings. Although he knows it's hypocritical to protest dehumanization and then to use people for himself, he allows himself to be swept away and to use the women anyway.

Some Muslim guy calls the Jews racist; just like Malcolm .His point: even though both Jews and blacks are minorities, the Jews end up rich and powerful, while the blacks end up poor, in ghettos, and oppressed.

no im not saying you do, im just saying that farrakhan is an idiot because he is hahaha

You would post this.

Similar to IM and the BroHood, Malcolm is absolutely hoodwinked by the supposedly honorable Elijah Muhammad. He believes all the clowny doctrine, about the black master race and refuses to see the obvious truth-the Elijah is simply using Malcolm to promote his own hypocritical program. In addition, the site goes on to discuss how Malcolm comes to learn that not all whites are evil by nature; it is the society and the racist atmosphere that push whites to abuse and oppress blacks.

This helps show the beginning of the narrator's process of maturity. He does not acknowledge the lack of trust nor the oppression against him. This helps show his blindness and ignorance

This shows the unfair treatment of a companies employees. The people are seen as animals as described by this quote in which they before diffiuclt manual labor and receive the bare minimum to be kept alive. The corporations and the managers define their selfish qualties unlike the poor who believe in the universal theme of helping others

MORGANTOWN - McDonald's denies any intentional wrongdoing in the now famous $10 million dollar cheese lawsuit and seeks to have the case dismissed.On Aug. 31, the McDonald's Corporation answered a lawsuit filed by a man who seeks $10 million from the company after he has a severe allergic reaction when he bit into a sandwich that had cheese on it.

While massive lawsuits are not the greatest thing in the world, I love it when a customer screws a fast-food restaurant for millions of dollars. The reason why our coffee cups now say, "CAUTION: CONTAINS HOT LIQUID" is because someone has beat the system and made a profit. When companies like McDonald's have no sympathy for their workers and only wants to make a profit, why should we have sympathy for McDonald's and not aim to make a profit off them?

This is ridiculous though. As much as I have learned to hate McDonald's by reading FFN, you need to admit that it's not Mickey D's job to know what that guy's allergies are, even if he asked not to have cheese. He should have checked his food first if he was so concerned. Waiters and/or the kitchen make mistakes at every restaurant.

Much like the slaughterhouses in "Fast Food Nation", Wal-Mart tries its hardest to deny and obstruct workers from filing or receiving workers comp.

Like the slaughterhouse companies in "Fast Food Nation", Wal-Mart sells harmful products--in this case tainted with toxic lead rather than crap. Both these lead-painted toys and E. coli-filled burgers pose threats to the most vulnerable members of our society, children.

Dukes vs. Wal-Mart was a massive Supreme Court case in which 1.6 million female Wal-Mart employees sued the company for discriminating against women when it came to promotions and raises. While the Supreme Court rejected the case's status as a class action (in which many victims file together as one lawsuit), they did not rule on the veracity of the 1.6 million plaintiffs' claims individually, which may represent a huge example of systematic discrimination against women. The especial mistreatment of women employees is also visible in "the Jungle" and "Fast Food Nation".

Though Ehrenreich includes some bias in her social experiment, the situation in which she puts herself in is very real and many people in the lower-class workforce deal with it. The corporation lures one into the trap, and when they're there, the poor workers are put under the mercy of the monster-- a beast of injustice. 

While many of modern society's economic talk, including Ehrenreich's experience, are of the injustice corporations and the government impose on the people with low wages that cannot even sustain a family for a month (or barely, at least)... they are overlooking the smarter state governments that do adjust their minimum wage policy to match inflation. Even if it may only be a few cents of a raise per hour, one can nearly earn a thousand, which definitely helps in sustaining a family. 

The site points out that women of back in the day were often unable to write a book simply for lack of three conditions that even modern day workers often take for granted. They were always kept too busy with simple preoccupations to bother with spending some free time writing books I also think the site made an interesting point in remarking that her style of writing is odd: she isn't talking about women's history, she's talking about thinking about it. Of course, it makes the book much more boring; however, it's a new and creative method of writing.

The site points out that Woolf points out that women were inhibited from success, and typically doomed to failure as a result of the restrictions placed upon them from society. They couldn't be financially independent, so they never had time to learn and experience the world, so they weren't intellectually free, etc.

The Times brings up an interesting point. Men struggled and still succeeded. Women struggled and got nowhere. Part of it must be the culture, where women often did not usually exert themselves to something ambitious, whereas men are expected to. For most of the women's rights movement, perhaps the goal wasn't to force the institution to create laws for equality, but in the bigger picture, sense that it was to show women had initiative, motivation and a purpose. 

"the conditions in factories were hazardous, and their pay was lower than that of a man. In fact the husbands controlled their wives wages. At the same time the middle and upper class women were to stay idle and only to be decorative symbols of their husband's economic success." In the lower classes, women worked for low wages in dangerous conditions; in the higher classes, respectable women were not permitted to work, and were simply symbols of their husbands' success. Regardless of socioeconomic status, women were controlled, and had to be prim, proper, and feminine without appearing too independent or self-reliant.

Just a bunch of helpful statistical data about women being paid less; even during modern days. Also would have been relatively helpful on the woman essay from her little essay

Shows what percentage of men's salaries women make in certain industries.

According to this article, J.K. Rowling, the formerly impoverished author of the Harry Potter Series, was the most successful author of the 2000-2010 decade. That seems like a big advance for poor women in literature.

It is interesting how Woolf thought so negatively about the social gap between men and women, and the poverty of women that kept them from freely thinking, yet had no qualms about depending on servants and other domestic help. These people are in similar situations to the ones she portrays women to hold, which makes her treatment of them suprising (she tries to avoid contact with them by writing her orders in order to avoid them all together)

Talks about the development of women's place in the workplace over time and notes that around the time of the publication of "A Room of One's Own", female union activists were facing abduction and other problems, and FDR appointed Frances Perkins, a woman, Secretary of Labor in 1931.

This site discusses the influence of women authors from the eighteenth and nineteenth century, once they became an educated force that was capabale of writing in a more public sense.
