Yeah, I suppose I lacked some precision in my language there.. I agree with you that women as a group were certainly oppressed in the past, and any woman who didn't want to live within the cultural norm would have felt oppressed, whether she went along with it or not. Feeling you're being treated unfairly and attributing it to oppression and actually being oppressed are two different things, though.

- scotty79 9y agoThey are. You can feel oppressed without being oppressed and be oppressed without feeling oppressed. Second case seems to fit wiki definition of "false conciousness". Both seem to me to be just overestimating and underestimating of how much universe ows you. Both easy mistakes to make if you try to define it too precisely.
