#Afuni Kindly Let's Talk Something About Oppression Against Feminine Since When Till Date
Oppression is the inequitable use of authority, law, or physical force to prevent
Religions and Cultures
Many cultures and religions justify the oppression of women by attributing sexual power to
them, that men must then rigidly control to maintain their own purity and power .Reproductive
functions—including childbirth and menstruation, sometimes breastfeeding and pregnancy—are
seen as disgusting. Thus, in these cultures, women are often required to cover their bodies
and faces to keep men, assumed not to be in control of their own sexual actions, from being
overpowered. Women are also treated either like children or like property in many cultures
and religions. For example, the punishment for rape in some cultures is that the rapist's
wife is given over to the rape victim's husband or father to rape as he wishes, as revenge.
Or a woman who is involved in adultery or other sex acts outside monogamous marriage is
punished more severely than the man who is involved, and a woman's word about rape is not
taken as seriously as a man's word about being robbed would be. Women's status as somehow
lesser than men is used to justify men's power over women.
