- Privilege and Intersectional Identities
- Private Sphere
- Domestic roles: m>f, women expected to be submissive housewives, men expected to be breadwinners
- THR4 men in privileged position bc not bound to submission or the sole domain of the house
- Class roles: working class mothers torn down called chavs on benefits, ridiculed and demonised
- THR4 upper/middle classes have privilege bc their voices heard when they caricature or oppress the working classes
- Domestic roles: m>f, women expected to be submissive housewives, men expected to be breadwinners
- Public Sphere
- Pay Gap: women paid less than male equivalents for the same job
- THR4 men have the privilege if they're benefitting more by getting higher wages
- HWVR m/f of different ethnicities get paid differently, like Asain women earn more than black women, and white women earn more than black men
- THR4 privilege lies in different levels, pyramid determines who has most/least privilege
- Job Opportunities: people of lower classes less likely to have networks enabling them to access lots of top jobs
- THR4 upper classes have privilege bc they can access networks to get better paid jobs
- Equality in job markets: women more likely to be in lesser paid jobs or pay cuts delivered to female dominated professions where male dominated professions receive tax breaks
- HWVR also, ethnic groups more likely to lose out to white candidates for a job when they're equally qualified
- Pay Gap: women paid less than male equivalents for the same job
- Intersectionality
- Overlap in issues: u/s individual oppressions/privileges
- E.g. feminist and anti-racist movements
- Can become a "race to the bottom"
- Can also perpetuate "victimhood" narratives
- E.g. idea that white, straight, middle-class men experience no problems at all, whereas truth is they can just none of those issues will be due to their ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, or gender
- Can also perpetuate "victimhood" narratives
- Do identifying labels of oppression sustain the labels themselves?
- GBCS to see if class divides still present, did it solve the problem or segment the population further?
