It is on race and classism that Hooks wants to focus for now, as these two things have been demonstrated to create differences in quality of life, social status, and lifestyle, she does this by discussing “oppression”. She defines oppression as the “absence of choices” (p. 5), and is the primary contact between oppressor and oppressed. She is quick to state however that many women in the U.S do possess choice, as inadequate as that may be so the terms “exploitation and “discrimination” perhaps more aptly describe their plight. It is this wiggle room in definition that Hooks believes may be the cause for a lack of organised, collective effort from many women; sexism has not left them with no choice, only limited choice. Hooks states, importantly, that under capitalism, patriarchy is structured so that sexism restricts women’s behaviors in some avenues while liberating them in others, this is what makes it so tricky a prison, in the absence of extreme restrictions many women “ignore the areas in which they are exploited or discriminated against; it may even lead them to imagine that no women are oppressed.” (Hooks, p. 5, Feminist Theory: From Margin To Center, 2000)

"under capitalism, patriarchy is structured so that sexism restricts women’s behaviors in some avenues while liberating them in others" - и ведь это верно. я обдумаю.
