Our unknown Privileges

In chapter two, the chapter shows us that even though that we have feminist views (or relatively the same) does not mean that we are all fighting for the same things. Generally as a group, we want the same for each other like equality and a fair voice just like men. After reading this chapter, the group we call feminist is actually consisted of smaller groups with different goals, but at the end of all of this we still are fighting for the same general idea of equality. It is hard to say that we as a group of women have gone through the same struggles and same problems as other women have had. All of us have come from different backgrounds that vary from social class, race, and religion. Many times when discussing what we want for women as a whole will change because what each of us have gone through and what we have accomplished is different. What a rich upper-class white woman has gone through and is fighting for is not necessarily the same things that a working-class Latin woman has gone through or wants. It is hard to say that they are fighting for the same things, when one already obtains certain privileges that other is striving to attain. An upper-class white women have more opportunities and power than a women who works for a lesser pay and who does not have white skin. That Latin women are trying to work for the same privileges that this white women has had given to her already. Despite women having feminist views, each person has to go through different obstacles and issues depending on race, religion, and class.
