Are Children an Oppressed Class?

by guest blogger LADYDIVA21

This article talks about children being an oppressed class and the
innuendo that comes when you speak against another oppressed
class...Talking about these differences gets tricky, however. If you
say you simply do not want to be treated the way a member of another
oppressed class is treated, it comes across as a desire to be more
respected, and less ill-treated, because you are not a member of this
other class and that contributes to the stigma they must face. Children
are smaller and weaker than most adults, and at very young ages unable
to provide for their needs independently at all, they are deeply
vulnerable to oppression. My question is did you feel oppressed as a
younger child growing up? Did you feel like your VOICE or opinion
mattered in your house hold? why or why not explain?...Do you agree or
disagree with the article, are children an oppressed class in your
opinion...Are their voices heard?...
