    1. Racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, some social movements asserted,are distinct forms of oppression with their own dynamics apart from the dynamics of class, even though they may interact with class oppression

      It's interesting how when people talk bout oppression the first thing that comes to mind is racism and people tend to forget about all of the other people who have suffered as well not saying that one struggle is greater than the other. Oppression ultimately means maltreatment and I like how the author gave us more to think about. I like how the author pointe out that oppression can have nothing to do with class which means that race or how much money a person might have. Just makes me think about people who have double targets on their back for being a minority and identifying within the LGBTQ+ community.
