12 TYPES
OF
OPPRESSION
In a social justice context, oppression is what happens when people
are pushed down by societies. (The word comes from the Latin root
opprimere, meaning "pressed down.") Here are 12 ways people tend to
be pushed down. Note that in many cases, these categories overlap
in such a way that one person has to deal with multiple forms of
oppression.
Please note that these categories describe patterns of behavior, and
not necessarily belief systems. You can have all the right beliefs
about social equality and still practice oppression through your
actions.
This is not intended to
be a comprehensive list.
Sexism
Sexism has been an almost universal condition of civilization, probably
due to the fact that men tend to be larger and to have more upper body
strength than women. This brings with it a greater average capacity for
violence, violence is the language of despotism, and we are only slowly
moving beyond despotism. Sexism tends to force women into subservient,
restrictive roles that many women do not want, and to force men into
dominant, competitive roles that many men do not want.

Heterosexism
A subcategory of sexism, heterosexism describes the pattern in which
people with clearly-defined genders are assumed to want to have sexual
relationships exclusively with members of the opposite gender. Since not
everybody does, the outliers can be punished with ridicule, restriction
of partnership rights, discrimination, arrest, and even possibly death.

Cisgenderism
Cisgenderism is a social pattern in which people who do not identify with
their assigned gender roles, or do not have clearly-assigned gender roles,
are forced to either choose gender roles that do not suit them or suffer
the social consequences.

Classism

Racism

specific "racial" group are treated differently from people who are members of
another.

Colorism

the amount of visible melanin in the skin. It is not the same thing as racism,
but the two tend to go together.
